By far the most annoying phrase I have ever heard was on site. Needing labour to do a task I was directed towards the GF. He refered to the lads as "skins". A rather hollow description for another human being. I much preferred the term used by a more kindly GF, where he called the lads in his charge labradors, which is a reasonably affectionate corruption of labourer.

theyre swines arnt they,

ialways found out there was never just 1 boss on the site's and they threw there weight around,
a good lump of 3x2 cures them mind,

its not a job id do again, ilike to work with people you can have a laugh with and being able to talk to them treat them as you wouid
with a mate,


@ Bailes, why dont you have agood think about things,
if iwas you id buy alittle van and start something up on your own, you seem to be clued up on Valeting,
the better weather is on its way you couid be rolling the coin in

it worked for me anyway istarted off with an ex bT van, (viva van ) lawn mower /spade and all that,

theres plenty of options out there mate,

Small van/pick up, water tank, generator and/or pump. There's a guy doing that around where my mate lives in Hampshire and he's making a killing, apparently.

[Bailes1992]

Would love a little unit doing valeting/detailing and maybe a little shop. Maybe some car repairs etc but again it's very labour intensive.

I think an office job would suit me best.

Going to get my HGV licence end of the gear. Do my class 2 and CPC for now and see how I get on.

Finish my apprenticeship and either do some driving for a few years and go to Uni in the evenings or carry on as an electrician for 2 years or so and do my HNC in Building Services Engineering which the company I work for would likely help me through it.
