I’m looking for a young person who’s interested in a career in plastering , based in the East Midlands at junction 25 on the m1, ideally you’d want to get stuck into the trade , I cover and will get you involved in all aspects of the trade but most of my work is outside so being ok working in all weathers will be a must
Part time or full time or on or thinking of starting apprenticeship, get in touch and we will get you cracking
Thanks Pete
 
That's a very decent offer, but these days nobody seems to want a trade career - all got ideas about IT/office work and health scares about trades. Their definitely scared of weather, travel everywhere by car now, happy to play footy in the rain but only for a little while.
 
Still looking great trade to learn all aspects, young enthusiast guy or girl derby or Nottingham areas get in touch , some great projects coming up just when the weathers gonna turn nice too

You will struggle @Vincey

Just lost my 3rd of the year.

27 years old, gave him a van and fuel card & paid him £450 a week take home. Chucked him in a gang with a ritmo and silicone spray set up. No experience and got him off a plastering course through the job centre.

Lasted 2 months and gone to Ocado to deliver shopping.

They simply don’t want it.

Will try again next spring.

That’s the problem the money probably isn’t to far off what you are paying him to deliver for ocado it’s easier for him to sit on his arse delivering then grafting
 
They don't get that the zero hours contracts for deliveries will go down the tubes when self driving deliveries arrive. I expect folk will get a phone call to come and pick it up off the van outside before it leaves in 5mins or too late. Premium service and charges for OAP's /immobiles etc.
Taxi drivers ditto. Several of the top industry IT's are predicting a lot of basic jobs and employment will go. e.g. Amazon wharehousing robots.

Already done with high street Bank branches,
Hate online banking and even worse if you want to speak to anyone.
Lost confidence with Barclays, been with them since my early 20's.

Nice, but these days if your seen with that much dosh, or paying for something expensive in cash, in a lot of places they are obliged to tell HM Revenue via their bank, and/or Plod presumes you are A) dealing drugs, b) Stealing it/doing something illegal, or C) and their least preferred - defrauding HMRC. As Dollar says, it's all about control.

I get 50% like that

The other half are forgetful c**ts, ,"my other half will do it tonight" week later still nothing

Got to chase them up politely with gritted teeth.
 
kitchen fitter i know had a nest egg of 22,000 quid in cash put away, long story short , vat man came , and gave him a bill of 15,000 quid, he decided to bite the bullet and just paid it from his little stash, did not want to do it, but its paid now, its gone,


builder i know , had that much cash, i kid you not, he had 2 safes in the house,


some jobs i have done and expected to be paid by cheque and got cash, and some jobs i have done expected cash, and got a cheque, including 1 cheque for 20.00 quid, this from a bloke whose brother died and left carrier bags of cash all round the house

A local chap while in the pub stated that he had 60K in cash which he kept under his dogs kennel in the garden. The moment he said that 2 chaps left the pub and the money was gone.

Were the dogs still there?
Builders have to be careful, it's known as very common for them to have at least one if not two cash stashes in the house, often in floor and wall safes. If the Pro' Cons get wind of it and think it's a mint then you might get woken up with threats and forced to handover the cash etc.

Had that happen to an harmless nice old couple near me, dumbo's had got the wrong house, but there was a safe and they did get their jewelry. Old boy lost one of his toes, burns etc. They were not so bright gypsies and got caught. I don't know how, but suspect some of the static gypsies in the area were outraged at this and gave them up.
 
Employing is becoming a real issue as minimum wage creeps up, it makes it difficult to get lads going.
Next April minimum wage is £100 based on an 8 hour day. £100 for a lad to stand there clueless for however long it takes to get them up to speed.
Builders in the north west don’t like paying over £200 when on day rate and with all the costs involved it’s becoming a joke
that a snotty day one kid, in realistic terms, when tax and all other costs are factored in isn’t a whole lot worse off than the man employing him. Based on day rate that is.

Better update this thread I’ve decided to stay on my own until I retire now without seeming to be to negative about training someone else up to work along side me it does seem like it’s not gonna work out. Rossi is 100% correct

Render is brutal alone though mate as you know, and almost impossible in some situations.
 
Government screwing business and economy while encouraging the black economy cash in hand tax dodging etc !

As said giving a young lad a chance ,paying them wages , tax, NI, pension sick, holidays, maternity leave, getting them off phones and heads fried after weekend living large or mrs doing thier nut in thinking youre an agony aunt ! f**k that !!

And all the other red tape H&S, paperwork and all the other hassle making it not worth bothering giving them a go, while those with skills and experience worth taking on are getting rarer than rocking horse s**t, as time goes on and they're retiring.

Means only five minute coursers and you tube apprentices will be doing the work in future !
