exactly, i totally agree - i know people in similar industries who might get a flat £40 a night 'subs' but they have to sort out their own b+b and meals out of that. Plus their subs for this are the same regardless of the season or part of the country they are working in.. tough luck if its peak holiday season in an expensive part of the UK.
We get decent free accomodation provided for us, normally pretty close to site, and subs on top ..even if were in self-catering accom. Despite trowelfodder's assertion that its obviously more expensive to live away, i think from what others have said on here that a lot of us diggers do pretty well out of current rates of subsistence that the units give us.
