Aye true,but if you have to work 18 hours a day week in week out in this day and age(in the building 'wet' trades not ***** trades like leccys or plumbers )just to make ends meet,you would have to be living wwwaaaaaayyyyy beyond your means,

***** trades. .......pmsl will have to remember that one..

This is in reply to the post about power vibro floors. Every penny was earned, no one gave us a thing. Damned hard work, done by damn hard men, respect to them all.

The way you put things sometimes phil, could go for a pint with you and listen all night about the glory days of tiling! Bet you you could talk all night!

he he sounds like a very wise man who went well before his time. Think the trick to life is find out all the things in life you like doing, then find out if you can get paid money to do them then use the money to do the other ones you can't get paid to do... Hope you follow

Maddest week I had was when I was 18. Was doing a 2000m shop floor in the day times a the boss offered me nightshift too. Was going on holiday in a fortnight so thought I might as well. Nightshift was on a very good price and was making an absolute fortune after tax for an 18 year old but it was the hardest four days of my life. Needless to say I had a good holiday.

I think the hours were 8-5 then 7-5

I suppose so mark.i still work hard but not ten hours a day,maybe 6 hours if that, I very rarely work weekends.
I'm on my 2 nd child, 15 years apart(same mum) so I started again really, and I've learnt that work ain't everything and want to spend as much time (apart from a stag do in Portugal this month and Egypt diving in July without them ) with family

Its known as the "Monday club" around my way, I know a lot of blokes from different trades who don't work Mondays, spend most of the day in our local, nearly all of them do a Saturday morning, but I'm sure that's just to get away from their Mrs and get out of doing the shopping etc, different generation
