Apprentice bricklayers on this site.

No the original point was brickies earning1k a week. That doesn't add up to 100k no matter how hard you try!

Spot on. I'm loving the usual suspects trying to tell us about our game,how it works. They're generally being shot down in flames.

Welcome indeed.

True.

You're absolutely right we did. As one of my previous posts has suggest.

Don't blame you mate, I know what you mean.

Stick to something you know about. young bricklayers are being trained all the time and they come onto sites all the time. They are properly trained and know considerably more than a lot of the rubbish that turn up claiming to be bricklayers.

Spot on mate. Got plenty of those where we are. All different nationalities give them a straight wall with profiles no problem. Give them a wall with curves and a Bulls eye or catchment trays. F***ing clueless. Still what do we know we're just at the front line of it.

It's a bit like what happened late 80s early 90s when there was a shortage of work over here. Bricklayers poured into Germany and very welcome to see us too.

We are.

There's plenty of room with us mate. We've been earning that for months now.
