When I was working in London in the 80’s fellas were going on like this. “Brickie’s in Dublin, two grand a week, and me stuck here in London”
They all went back to Dublin once a month, signed on the dole, gave the missus one and were back in London for work the next morning.
Pure Fuk!ng Mule Boss
So true it hurts
Hoovered most of that money up their noses. “Shure ye’d be mad goin’ to college, bai”. Bought themselves RS Focuses and never changed the oil. Did a half-arsed job on sites with minimal training. Insulated the cavities with their fag packets and McDs. Then fucked off to Australia and got us banned from half the bars and towns in the country. Fuck ’em.
Was blocklaying in the boom boom times.
Had Ralph lauren jeans for work, had a lovely R32 skyline. Good times
Stop I knew a fella who went scaffolding back in the early/mid 2000’s, 800 a week at 17 to ‘help out’
Anyone able to comment on the way he’s laying that cement?
Would explain the shockin quality control in Irish cavity walls.
Ots like the opening soundtrack and monologue at the start of every Irish short film ever made.
Blocklayers getting up to 450 a day at the moment.
