Nothing in West Country, seems to be getting worse, things going on in London area, but rates seem to be dropping, got fed-up of replying to job sites, never get a reply, seem more intrested in flashy CV's and paper qul's, rather than if you can do the job or not ! Nothing going on in Manchester area then?? Thought may be better in bigger city's ! Still good luck in your quest for work.

Not much at all down this way. Merchants are quite busy with people hanging about moaning that they've got no work. Even the people who have always been busy are scratching at the moment.

 

[hammers4spanner]

can concur that the westcountry is slow ,
as stated plumbers stood aound in the merchants pretending to be busy chatting about the big jobs coming up.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

very slow my way as well

Have you won any jobs with rated people yet? had 1 today, cost me £4 for the lead plus monthly fee, change a kitchen tap, quoted £45, customer said ow we need to get some more quotes 1st so will let you know. Can guarantee she will say she has been quoted £45 to the next person and ask if they can beet it. Seems a bit expensive to me, dont think I will renew

i would never work for a pimp !!!!!

 

[zimlet]

pretty much as expected!! The government are gonna have do something soon or we're all gonna be stood round the job centre instead of the merchants!! As for rated people all those sites are the same trying to make money sitting on there arses, off the back of other peoples hard work, basically like a small version of the country since theres no industry anymore.

 

[hammers4spanner]

All the govt are doing is pushing the unemployed into trades , a friend of mine lost his job last year and he tells me that the job center are pushing the trade route . Problem being people learing new trades in a market where their isnt much work or money anyway but looks good for govt figures as peeps suppose re training.

On top of all these boiler guides and service magic companies that are vultures preying on the small business man whom is desperate for work,get conned into leads then before you know it spent £250 for no work .
Have been installing for twenty years and the industry is at its worse i have known , rubbish contracts,rubbish prices, low wages new vans all over the shop .

may take up paper round for bit of extra cash !
Probably get holiday pay as well

Most of the new vans will be handed back within a year. A shiny van does not pay the bills.

 

[jtsplumbing]

Sorry hammers , think i've just got the paper round, did a Gov course last week, NVQ on map reading and paper folding so they will fit through letter-box, Qual's last for 5 years may make enough to buy a Bike by the end of year.

 

[mountainman]

Make it a second hand bike JTS, fame and fortune in the Domestic Newsprinted Media Distribution sector is fleeting at best.

 

[jtsplumbing]

No MM ! going to buy top of the range mountain bike, nice and shiny, cos' i know NUS will call me, offer 400 houses for up frount fee, then be able to sub out to other paper boys, of course i will give the guys on here first refusal, would you like to be first on list ???? :deal:

 

[mountainman]

Now your being unrealistic )

 

[jtsplumbing]

No it's true ! NUS will be selling paper rounds ,( cant get any GSR to take up their other offer), so need to get in quick B4 everything is snap'd up. This time next year will be Millionaire. lol :sifone:

 

[REDSAW]
