Jarvis actually, and what a bunch of lying, cheating set of compulsive masturbaters they are. Auf Weidersein Pet? Very true to life, but that was 20
years ago. We did start it, but it was the other way round, we brough the Kraut over here to rebuild after WW2, hence the term "Jerry
built", unfortunately a term for shite work now.

Have you ever seen foreign plastering?
Most places don't even bother. I can do it but have never had a job doing it, it's bloody hard work and I'm too old. I was doing
some for the brother in law a while back and the flooring man there said the last job they were on, finishing plasterers were getting £20+ per hour.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I was working for a subcontractor for too many years at around £7 to £10 an hour, but my boss was charging the main contractor between £15 to £25 an
hour for my services. I thought about this for a bit, then me and a few like minded mates went in direct and took all the work away from our boss, why
should he get rich off our work? I (and the rest of my mates) are now earning loads and the ex-middle man gets none of the money I earn. Just takes a
bit of balls to do, and a bit of money up front as most contracting firm work on 90 days payment.

Sounds about right, except my boss charges £40ph for my work/£400 a day, and doesn't pay me overtime (although will still charge the clients for
overtime done)
Also reimburses my company mileage at 7.5p per mile (was 8p but the spen around half our recalulating it, bastards).
Thing is they charge the clients at 55p per mile!
Wish could go self employed but horrendous start up costs!

My buddy down the road had a knee op and he built a kit house after when he was off on the sick. He had a fancy splint and some young laddies to do
the lifting. Was a sight to see!
The council always have spaces and it cusshy work.
You will get something. Its not like you will starve....try moving from africa nice job house cars ect to catching a bus and living with your inlaws
working in Macds flipping burgers cause you cant get work..... started subcontracting and life got better. Work flew in and we could not take
holidays. It led to the job now which is great.
