yes its all found, but it seems a bit low for the South Coast.

That is Â£800 pocket money after all his living expenses. Excluding my car and other extravagent new toys which I could easily do without, I live quite hapily on far less than Â£800.

I agree. Easy to live on Â£800 a month, or 993 Euros a month when all you have to pay for is luxuries and going out!

For a junior chef Â£15000 per year live in which includes food, internet,council tax,laundry etc then it is pretty good. I have friends who pay a lot less to non UK workers for simillar positions

Why you think it is low for the South Coast is baffling. The only real difference between North and South is the cost of housing which does not come into this.
