The reason why you can't get a plumber for less than £X/hr plus callout is because no plumber anywhere charges less. Plumbers dont go around shooting each other in the foot! Of course If I was a train driver and I got together with other train drivers and said "We're not prepared to work for less than £X/Hr" its called a Union and is (More or less)OK. If I was to contact other independent garrages in the area and say "We shouldnt be charging less than £x/Hr" it would be called "Price Fixing" and we could be fined or even go to Prison!! Ho Humm
