Nottingham is ace...thats why me and @theplasterman live thereI can certainly point you in the right direction and that direction is right were you are now in Nottingham, trust me I have followed a bit of skirt myself around the country and always ended up back at home lol.

It's a tough one to crack I was in with a few builders mainly summer months once into November December January that's when you find out how tough it is not being a local down there I got many friends down there but when you go to pubs you soon find out these people are born there live there and die there London is around 50 miles from there and some have never even been it's like a little bubblei do loads in New Romney ,but its a closed shop ,as they all married their sisters so it stays in the family
Grimsby is similar it's a closed shop, there is a connection with everyone one its f**k**g weird.It's a tough one to crack I was in with a few builders mainly summer months once into November December January that's when you find out how tough it is not being a local down there I got many friends down there but when you go to pubs you soon find out these people are born there live there and die there London is around 50 miles from there and some have never even been it's like a little bubble

I took advantage of the fact it's not what you know who you know mentality by getting a head start online, I think there was one plasterers website when I moved here now there are 20 maybe. I forget I have a different accent until someone points it out and I don't ever think they will get my sense of humourCoastal towns are like that I would of stayed longer but with a young family the travelling was killing me think once your in its alright but it takes a while to get a foot in
Yeah the accent thing is funny once they hear you speak the eyebrows raise and it's like the pitch forks will be out I loved the coastal way of life but it was a grind so drove into London everyday maybe one day I will give it a go again but seems you had the head startI took advantage of the fact it's not what you know who you know mentality by getting a head start online, I think there was one plasterers website when I moved here now there are 20 maybe.

This is weird I in Sandbanks this week been looking around at all the sea front manner's getting done up (loads of render and plastering) thinking would love to be living round here,working but when I speak to locals they look down there noses at me with my northern accent also see on the builders signage seems there only 2 company's that have all the jobs .. Made me think I not got bad deal really where I live already..wouldn't mind one of these places thoughYeah the accent thing is funny once they hear you speak the eyebrows raise and it's like the pitch forks will be out I loved the coastal way of life but it was a grind so drove into London everyday maybe one day I will give it a go again but seems you had the head start
Always good when your on holiday like abroad always think if I could go for it I would love it but the reality is it would be hard to make it work and fair play to the ones who have made it workThis is weird I in Sandbanks this week been looking around at all the sea front manner's getting done up (loads of render and plastering) thinking would love to be living round here,working but when I speak to locals they look down there noses at me with my northern accent also see on the builders signage seems there only 2 company's that have all the jobs ..
