The lads on our site are getting £200-£250 a day for about 6 hours work Mon-Thurs and 3-4 hours work Fri. Those wages still won't make you live like a millionaire, the price of living puts a stop to that. Most brickies on site are f***ing bag heads these daysdirty messy cnuts, can't clean up after themselves... Start crying if they can't have a muck binthe standard of workmanship in the last 10/15yrs is shocking...a trained f***ing chimp could do better 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
