In the south (around Cambridge) for having sufficient skills to push a broom you will currently be paid £200 per day. If you are a trade- chippy or bricky you will currently get £500 per day- mugs you say?
Yes, its price work and they are getting £500 a day out of it. Any trade that is not on price work is generally a chancer/ blagger or not fit for purposeThat's not £500 a day then, that's price work.

Love it me, banter is great, as you say and money to burn if your a grafter.Couldn’t pay me to sit behind a desk all day looking at a screen.

Could pay me a fortune and I'd still be sick as a chip doing it.
Getting up early doors Monday to Friday, working all day for next 8 and a half hours ,sometimes longer .

Done almost 50 years in construction, hated it, but I would have hated sitting in an office more, I've had two stints doing so, once when I was 21 and once to see me to my retirement, what a boring mind-numbing experience, I'd take manual work over that any day.
Never anyone's cup of tea, at any time, is it, but waking up to go to work in an office, where there's no crack or conversation, staring at a screen 8 hours a day, a day that feels like a month, used to make me depressed, I didn't like going to work in the cold, but it didn't depress me, the way office work did. Anyway, I'm finished with it all now, so I could give a fuck..In my mind I still think I miss being on site- but in reality spending 8 hours in the freezing cold is not my cup of tea these days
If social conditions were the same now as they were back then, you'd have no problem, people have to live, and they'll do whatever it takes to do that, remove the safety net of benefits, and they'd have to do it, looks like that safety net is getting smaller every year.Imagine trying to get people down the pits these days?
On nearly a quid a brick on one of our sites North Northumberland, think it was £950/1000 last I heard.£500 a day for Bricklayers got me![]()

This. Good honest work. Deserve their dough.Hard working lads. They certainly put the graft in and I wouldn't fancy it in the cold either.
When I have done a full day in the garden or doing DIY even just at my own glacial pace I'm ready to fall asleep the minute I get back in the house. Those lads are far fitter and work much harder.
