London Bridge is falling down, Falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down, My fair lady. We suppose it's pretty messed up to write an ode to shoddy civil engineering, but really, how bad could this be? Aside from all those suicides, nothing sinister ever happens on bridges! What It Actually Means: It's a song about starving children to death. There have been a lot of theories over the years as to what the collapse of the London Bridge in the song means. Some believe that it refers to Viking attacks back in the 11th century. As no documented records of such an attack on the bridge exist, however, we'll instead focus on a different interpretation: immurement. Don't know the term?
1 Although there are still a few low-cost areas where electricians work for $30-$50 an hour, typically they charge $50-$100 an hour or more depending on local rates and their qualifications. 2  Some electricians quote a flat fee per job rather than an hourly rate, depending on the scope and type of work to be performed.
The average hourly wage of electricians nationwide was $25.75 as of May 2013, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This comes to $53,560 annually for full-time work.
