Not wanting sympathy ?? just don't want people saying that the youth of today are lazy some are and others are grafters all the good ones are taken that's why there's none about.

Agency work labourers get £15 a hour and all what they need is to pass a multiple choice questionnaire that the job centre put you through a cheap pair of steel toe cap boots a hi viz vest and your ready to go £120 a day to drag your knuckles and not think once, it's a easy job aswell as there is all mechanical aids to do the work 

 

So who'd want to drag brash for less?

It's not quite 'in' the woods, but it's on the edge and would do me just fine:

Fritidshus uppförd på arrenderad mark i mysiga Rackeby. Lummigt läge med en trädgård för den som uppskattar att odla och synliga bergsknallar samt skogen nära inpå. Närhet till...

 

Close to my brother in law too, and only £23k with a quarter of an acre. I've had years where I've paid more rent than that. 

 

If Rebecca is included, I’m in ?

Does not seem like you can hold a job down though, nor stick to one trade and gain any kind of qualifications. It will bite you in the ass later.
