Madness.... tiling? painting? It's not rocket science...

Everything Joe you could think of...

Certainly not rocket science...but there's only one correct way to do either trade...and a thousand wrong ways. Same with electriciains...only difference is that if you balls it up as a spark, you might kill someone...

According to some, this carry on was endemic on sites (never saw too much of it myself, but I'd be in at end of all other trades).
guys in trucks, or guys who lay bricks know nothing about regulators or the papers tbh...

The guys just got on with it... such practices should have been caught by proper oversight...
It's not alright, but that's what went on. This is the reason people were paying stamp duty and VAT etc etc... so that whoever should have been paying attention to oversight and regulations got their wages.


lol at this guy; sparky's getting more painting? Some sparky.

I dont see how people can absolve themselves of responsibility when they made the choice to collect the wages and throw together houses/apartments by cutting corners and actively engaging in poor work practices etc.

Not saying its entirely their fault but they are partly responsible even if they somehow think going on joe duffy and giving anecdotle evidence absolves them somehow.

Jaysus... thought the lads could do the same as everyone else, feed themselves.

They are getting a big enough wedge.

I love these ex pat explorers that head off to a foreign country and find better ways of doing stuff, to share with the Neanderthals back in "the old country"..

I missed start of this...where is this guy, oz?

Lapin

Fek :eek:

I often threw lashings of Fairy Liquid into countless cement mixers during my time as a labourer in London about 20 years ago.

I thought nothing of it and just kept adding the stuff at random.
I don't really know why, and never questioned the practice because I didn't really care why it was done as long as I got paid.

So if a wing of Great Ormond Street Hospital falls down anytime soon, or Westminster Tube Station caves in, I'm gonna do a runner.

Thanks Frank, god bless......would you like to import a few bucketloads of Fairy Liquid to finish d'owl kitchen in Amerikay?

What this fella is leaving out is that all improvements done in the states increases the value used for annual taxes on the house paid to the councils

This guy on about the sand grade has a better point about it.
I'd never heard about detergent f*cking up cement (only skimcoat, makes it "map")... common mortarsiser is only an extender, and detergent does the same thing.

"Don't put the heart crossways in people Oliver" says Joe.

While quietly saying to himself.."that's my job"

Thats whats known in the trade as "a builders finish". When my place was built they had the vent stack for the sewer venting into the attic space ffs.

I was one Syklops, but I think I know where Jon is coming from.

There is something very condecinding about someone who made good abroad (especially in the States) coming on a live radio programme telling those back home where they are going wrong.
