Getting hold of a tradesman is a total nightmare

half the people in at least three of my local pubs are tradesmen.
I have no problem getting stuff done at all.
and they do good work for the market rate.

Getting hold of a tradesman is a total nightmare

I tried to get a chimney sweep, usual guy said mate you need to book 3 months in advance I'm fully booked every day until end of January. Same with two others I called, eventually found one that can do December.

I also needed a gutter repair guy, phoned several companies, all too busy to do residential properties. Phoned a guy in the monthly newsletter posted through my door, booked for 6 months (why advertise in a monthly publication if you're booked for 6 months?!?). Eventually found a guy that can do it at the end of the week, price is double what I would have expected.

Tried to get a guy to remove a wasps nest, phoned several companies (many promised 'same day' service), eventually found a guy had to pay double what I expected, it took him about 5 seconds to spray it with a long rod attachment, 60 odd quid.

Pay over the odds for my annual boiler service as well because I use a company with a physical office and secretary. Paying £30 more than I need to because they answer the phone and turn up. Previous boiler guy literally didn't answer his phone for 2 months when I was trying to get him to do it.

Absolutely nightmare every time. I'm wondering if there's actually a service I can pay for that will book tradesfolk for me.

Whilst I agree with you - there is a theme in your e-mail which is that you felt you overpaid - twice.

And the reason for that is if you want a quality job doing you need to pay for it.

After all you lot are all contractors who would not get out of bed for less than £500 a day -- amiright?

Let me be the first here to say I don't give flying **** about others whatsoever. Most people are lazy, thick chunts, they reap what they can;t be bothered to sow.

Try booking an electrician. Wait 3 months and pay £300 per day.

And yet all the "poor" are sitting at home moaning about their lot.

Go to ******* college and learn a ******* trade!

To see @evoespueblo who, along with a powerful movement, has brought so much social progress forced from office by the military is appalling.

I condemn this coup against the Bolivian people and stand with them for democracy, social justice and independence. #ElMundoConEvo

Of course you won't. If the average weekly income goes up, more people will be below the poverty line.

Not if it goes up by incomes rising in equal proportion across the board.

[darmstadt]

Went well back in 1945 when the right wing press attacked Labour.

“It created the welfare state, including the NHS, rebuilt the ruined economy, nationalised a series of industries, whose record was a great deal better than it has been credited with, gave freedom to India, and played a vital role in the creation of Nato,”

What's Germany doing about getting rid of its food banks?

Privatising them...

[DimPrawn]

This thread shows why there is still extreme poverty in parts of UK. It looks like as long you are raking in a high day rate, you are alright, the rest can get fooked. Sad really. If the government tries to boost the status of the lower class through some reforms the well off are up in arms with indignation that their tax money is wasted on socialist policies.

40% median.

[malvolio]

Can you define that? Given the amount of taxpayers cash that goes into ensuring that doesn't happen.
If it's the 60% of average income as a marker for 'poverty' then I suggest we will never be rid of it.

Of course you won't. If the average weekly income goes up, more people will be below the poverty line.

[BrilloPad]

In places like Liverpool and Yorkshire, yes.

Just don't mention Manchester where it is all mud huts.

Though there is one good place in Manchester. Buile Hill Park - Wikipedia . Baby bp is friends with one of the descendants of the last people to live there.
