Seen an ad for brickies recently and it said "No chippers, lippers or dippers"
Can you explain that un?

Think its on about bricklaying golfers

Obviously a Northen advert mate, chippers ime not sure about but may mean briickes tappiing the bricks down with the trowel rather than just pushing them down into place, lipping is what we call down South hatching and grinning where the face of the bricks are not laid to a flat plain so when the sun hits them at a certain time of day they cast shadows a dipper is when a brick is not laid truly to the line and generaly dips below the line at one end of the brick basicly they dont want any rough *****, out of interest what were they paying?

"Good rates of pay" was all it said. I asked my marra today and he said the same as you - and 'chippers' are someone using chipped bricks instead of good 'uns......:RpS_thumbup:
