I call bs on qualified sparky for 120 a day. You made that up. I live in Nhamptonshire and we can't get sparky, or any trade for that matter, for less than £250 a day.
Trades people have very good instincts, they always double their prices for people they don't like.
Alternatively perhaps they knew of his passion for all things EU and they were quoting him in Euros?
Euros or magic beans, all the same these days.
Well he does often tell us that English isn't his 1st language so it may just be a misunderstanding...who knows?

How good is socialised medical care and education in Latvia?
According to Google, not great on the Health service (lots of delays)

Education obviously isn't any good as old fk face has no actual qualifications (well Art) rolleyes Exactly what this over crowded Isle needs. More stupids. laugh

Is it worth bankrupting yourself to travel to England and live at or near the breadline though? Especially since Russia is significantly better than Latvia for health and education. And the language, if not the same, has similarities. And cultural they are more similar.

Sparkles can and do earn £250 day rates in London and outer London, I know this as my daughter lives in that neck of woods. She has just had rooms in roof conversion and I know how much that cost! But those costs are not applicable to other regions, people cannot afford to pay those high rates and therefore unsustainable generally speaking.
As for the magic beans, thankfully the UK brushed them aside, just imagine the state the Country would have been in.

At least, that way, they don't have to beg neighbours to group together so that they can afford utility bills.

Lots of people would love to be told the answer.

My fee is reasonable, and yes I do know the answer to the 'Bermuda Triangle' (non) mystery.
Sorry to pop your bubble.

Why am I not surprised.

But, as a consequence, we now all know where the centre of the universe resides. wink
