Manpower are offering the princely sum of £7.56 for a fully qualified Komatsu PC750 operator that wants to work in a quarry in sunny Cumbria!

When i stop laughing i'll have a serious comment!

perhaps the lassie who wrote the ad thought the 750 in PC750 was the rate -  £7.50  - but made a typo and ended up with £7.56.

How much is a PC750 these days? at a guess £475,000 new.

Common sense says if they are offering such a low hourly rate that they will probably end up with someone who doesnt know what they are doing.

On a 475K worth of machine? Madness!

 I think the last time i earned £7.50 was the early 90's

It probably is a typo and its really £750 a week!

Its bloody hard graft digging off a quarry face especially if they are throwing dumpers at you!

 Just found another one!

I did ask if they supplied straw n water for my horse but they haven't replied!

I can eat straw - Gissajob!

Nice work, thanks to the good old tiltrotator

 Well i take back everything i have ever said about the CPCS and UK machine drivers!

If that comedian is what passes for a good operator in Sweden then UK operators must the 360 Excavator Red Arrows Display Team!

We have gone back to the early 90,s. The agency work has come back and those bastards are ripping off the building workers again. They get the work off big contractors by offering a kick back to the GF/Construction Manager, Yes I had the e-mail off the agency when I got made up to Construction Manager, and then they put the job out at a low rate and someone who is desperate will take it. The agancies are nothing more than vampires sucking the life blood out of the building industry. To all you GF,s and Managers who are taking the kick backs, shame on you!
