    Everybody thinks that a poor credit rating sticks with you for life.
    They look at the last 12 months only in most cases

      if you miss a few payments it is fatal for a good credit rating, late payments show up but defaults can kill a credit rating

          I will work twenty hours a day if necessary to make sure that I don't put my wife through that again

              Well, that's really what I'd rather not do. Having spent about IT-related £8,000 on training and qualifications this past few years, I don't think the missus would be too chuffed with me.
              I find it hard to accept that there is no longer an IT industry in the UK. I know the heavy stuff has gone - coal, steel, shipbuilding etc. - but I don't really understand why we are in a position where there's not much hi-tech work either.

              Any major construction or demolition job these days is done under a Construction and Demolition mandate.
              They all require project supervisors.
              Take a construction industry CSCS Health & safety Qualification and they will be phoning you.
              Thank you for the suggestion.

                The beer's working since I'm getting maudlin. I'd best go to bed.

                  The problem is that a lot of the tech is now being outsourced.
                  Usually by the very companies that are complaining about the lack of skilled workers and poor standard of school leavers.
                  If they shut up and invested in our schools and generated employment for our school leavers and skilled techs then they would not need to outsource.
                  but at the end of the day, it is all down to money.

                      They will see the error of their ways when foreign companies using the skilled labor that British/Euro companies have funded, take all their contracts and drive them under
