Whos currently working???

I’m domestic work I usually have a 10 week but at moment 5 weeks work booked in and I’m not cheap , I am sitting this out I’ve told all customers that I’m pausing work and 98% are respecting that I have a elderly dad and I don’t want to kill him although at times I have, but if they don’t like it tough s**t

If we sit it out we will be fine after all we are the best most skilled trade let’s not put our prices down because some dick does a 5 day plastering course and thinks he is a plasterer and charges £150 all in we are worth more than that double and some,

The general public are pretty much getting paid for sitting at home the money is there don’t panic enjoy the break it’s going to get worse for a bit but work will be there when it gets back to some normality

Yes monkeynuts come on son, at last a bit of f**k**g sense spoken from a lurker!! Why have you been hiding?
 
I know a guy, joiner builder said his 3 year average is£100,000 he does not qualify for scheme says he is working on as he is only worker on a private build.has a unmarked van.his decision.he said i dont get paid so its essential.
Now here is something if you qualify for scheme i guess you should not be working .unless someone knows different.
But where i live in a local newspaper it quotes the people of the area will not forget who worked through this if they are not essential jobs.so even if you had a domestic job in a empty property you run the risk of being named and shamed or bad feedback down the line if you have a sign writing on your vehicle.

Thing is we're allowed to work. It's government guidelines currently that if you can't work from home then you're doing nothing wrong in working.
Although it is clearly not bright if you're working in people's houses with their potential germs all over the house. Again though you'd be doing nothing wrong in terms of guidelines from being there.

If your builder mate is topping 100k profit a year, and he hasn't got a few months money set aside for a rainy day then he's doing something wrong surely

People are ringing police to say their neighbours exercised twice instead of once , there’s an old Italian (Sicilian ) phrase that says I’ll take my chance with God rather than starve to death on earth .
no .., im
Not expecting that people will starve in the main , a few will as people were going hungry before , robbing will increase , civil unrest very possible , lots will die from the virus ,

I don’t think a few people working is going to be the main crime , I’m still working on my own place , footings being dug Monday , concrete being poured Tuesday,
So many companies still going , you have to be safe , not being close , wearing masks etc .washing hands ,
It’s all outside work ,

Well personally [insert long post of rambling opinions with a smattering of factual evidence that no one will listen to because they've already decided what they believe and what's best for them] but that's just me. (y)

Thats the problem with the guidelines, its open to abuse and interpatation.though that looks like it will be knocked on the head here in days.
