Do we have to work in the Lake District with all those mountains and sheep and stuff ?

Probably higher than the going rate for PHP coders in the SW
Depends if you just want code monkeys, or ones who can do software architecting and design as well.

That's a bit of a "how much does a bike cost" sort of question. I'd say post the job description and how much yuo were offering and we can all tell you how much you'd need to offer. Chances are you're after a carbon race whippet bike and you're offering bso money

Its based in Morecambe, famous for sunny skies, sandy beaches... okay its a freakin dump
We're offering 30k but will probably up it to 32

I know architecting is a horrible word, and I hate it, but it does kind of get across the meaning, and I've been going through bugzilla most of the day trying not to be obviously rude to the clients, so it's the best you are going to get.
I'm kind of out of touch with the going rates for up country jobs, so I could be wrong here, but that money looks a little low for a good senior php developer, more like standard php coder money[1].
[1] As in, knows the language, can knock out chunks of code to a decent spec, but doesn't have the design skills to design a complex system from scratch, spec it for other coders, figure out how it is all going to hang together, sort out modelling in UML or similar etc, which is what I would expect from a senior developer[2].
[2] I used to expect a lot of those skills from anyone who called themselves a programmer, but experience has taught me that I was sorely mistaken, and the useless sods were usually on upcountry rates, rather than Cornish rates too, which was a bit galling.

Must remember to get in touch in a few years when I'm looking to move up that way....
I'm principally c# not php, but php is not that hard having done some drupal last month. the salary sounds good, maybe it;s the rest of the package?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I pay £32-38k darn south
Finding it increasingly hard to recruit PHP everyone got carried away with all of that MCSE CISCO shitePosted 2 years ago # -
you're welcome to pay me 35k to make up the numbers but I have 0% ability and only 5% enthusiasm, that said I do dress and smell kinda funny.

MrNutt - when can you start, you sound like the rest of the team

Really? I'm a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead with 12 years solid experience (in proper languages, not PHP) and I'm on 34k.
