Outside London

[irish_spread]

Hi lads, ive been working in London for about 20 yrs and never really been out of work for more
than a few days. I've been doing domestic for about the last 10 yrs charging about £150/£200/day cash
so im not really expensive as such. Thing is I've only worked about 6 days in the last 6 weeks!!
Whats it like in the rest of the UK??

seems like its bad all over then. Thought it was just London with all polish etc on site
and all the english speakers getting in on domestic stuff. Never mind just got in a small job that'll keep me goin
plus a £1500 tax rebate. PUB TIME ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Can't complain really been working for a small builder (midlands) doing insurance work on & off for years he's always got work on anytime of the year, this month he's already had 10 full houses come in fire & flood damaged,
complete rip outs keeps me busy anyway.
Domestic seems to have died off a bit from middle of last year for me but got a few lined up for feb.
So I do a mixture but last year was mainly for him.
The year before was 50/50.
Oh & I got just over £2000 tax rebate & it's definetly PUB TIME ;D
