I think the key word here is *if* they work. *That is basically correct,
although the expectation is that we are unlikely to get more than one or
two of these duties allocated during the whole of the games. *The figure
of £1800 assumes that a driver works outside the agreement every duty
possible and every day.


So that means the "on average" part is basically a lie?
