Nice to see you getting hammered now and again like the rest of us.

Have confidence in what you do. Everyone knows when they’ve done a good job, everyone knows when they’ve cut corners. Customer doesn’t/can’t always know the difference…just don’t get complacent and burn out and be a bread head without a conscience.

I think it's an English trait.

Paddy's, Germans, Poles, Dutch, French and Italians don't seem to.....



I think you're sort of right - strong English banter and humour.

None of the others mentioned are even close to the humour (and straight talking) of English workmen.


Different.

What’s with the “paddy’s” comment?..Some of the best Irish plasterers built up your country.A lot of the English plasterers on here will verify that so show a bit of respect.

We show you so little respect that we've even sent that total knobhead @Stevieo to live in your country.

Kings regulations. First job of the day is to tut tut when you see what the last fella did.

This is true. The standard of tradesmen here is very high. Brickies are quick and plasterers know the whole trade.

I live at the bottom of the Ineshowen peninsula. I don't know why, but it's known for the very best plasterers about.

What fucks things up is Irish builders. Some f**k**g gangsters there alright.

Someone who’s pretty mercenary and completely motivated by money
