Right, by front end I was referring to HTML5, CSS3, Modern JS Apps etc, not the pixel pushing kind of work.

I also see a lot of contracts around 400GBP a day in London for front end folks, thats around the 100K mark per year.

Getting specs is not the problem, but changing the specs over and over again, and not communicating or remembering all the changes is a problem.
