What People Do For Work?

We were in the pub one day and one of the lads was chatting up a couple of girls.

One asked him what he does. "I'm a thermal insulating engineer." he told her.

The other girl said "yer a lagger."

We fell around with the laughter.

Only most people think yer asking for a drink when u tell em your a Lagger, got to be the easiest job on the building sites

Got some laggers on a chemical site that make it look hard lol

Oh maybe you could phone them and tell them to come cut back the trees that are f***ing my line up. Honestly there is one bit where a broken tree is pulling the line down till it's about 10ft of the ground. And still they won't cut it. Idiots!!

We're sub contractors but get work from bt / openreach. I don't work for openreach.

Yes mate different ball game on the big sites compared to building sites, im about 70% on building site and the rest on industrial, same job just more rules and h&s and industrial is where the money is! I like building sites best to be honest just a full days non stop graft the day flys in compared to a day on a distillery waiting on permits sorting harness access ect then always looking over your shoulder dressed like a fecking American football player lol. Work with a lot of offshore boys when there home looking for extra cash and can tell they spend half the day doing feck all, I couldn't be doing that I like a graft and when getting stuck in and put the hours in can earn same money as them and get to have dinner with the family at night ??
