Yes I can count myself as one of those folk. Not every job I have ever done, but quite a few. Unfortunately the AUP does not allow me to name names.....but I would be happy to if asked. Maybe David I could send you a private message with the names of employers that have paid a higher rate....
I often find myself with a number of weeks free time between contracts, when I would like to work, but don't have the possibility of committing to either a long-term project or the inevitable delays that sometimes happen in obtaining post-excavation funding. So I answer adverts, normally positions advertised at excavator level, explain my situation and see what the response is. Quite often employers seem grateful for the input of experience particularly at the beginning of projects, even if it is only for a short time and not the whole length of the project...
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
