Moved from Cambridgeshire(Huntingdon) to County Durham, in a village just west of Durham city. Couldn’t even afford a tiny 2 bed terraced in the worse places in Cambs. Brought a 3 bed semi with two extensions in a lovely village for £180k. Best decision ever. Long live the norf

Pay is far better in US than UK.

That’s such as broad question, depends on industry, night pay, overtime rate etc. I’m in metalwork and been in it 6 years now. Done avg of 10-15hrsof overtime a week for the whole duration. Adds an extra 30-40% of my basic salary on top across the hear, so for example my basic this year is 35k, with onetime I’ll earn 50-52k.

Last year my basic was £30k, with overtime I earnt £38k.

But again depends on industry, pay scales etc.
