  1. It's registered in Dubai.
  2. Interesting comments in this thread ^
  3. Why do you think that P&O haven't replaced any of their French employees during this restructuring move?
  4. Still, it wouldn't have happened if we were still in the EU. We've made our bed, we should expect more things like this to happen in the future. I regret voting to leave, as I thought we might have had 'proper' politicians doing the negotiating who would strike a deal that benefitted us. I was wrong, but there it is.
  5. Yup, UK workers for foreign companies lost their job security when we left the EU.

  10. Climate plays a part too. These are good books if you're interested in the technicalities of it all: Tree Root Damage to Buildings: Causes, Diagnosis and Remedy Vol 1: Amazon.co.uk: Biddle, P.G.: 9780953308613: Books WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Buy Tree Root Damage to Buildings: Causes, Diagnosis and Remedy Vol 1 only available with VOL 2 by Biddle, P.G.

  11. It's more to do with the underlying geology of Norn Iron; subsidence/heave can only occur in soils with a shrinkable clay element. Subsidence is pretty rare here in the NE of England.
  12. Someone's been on the Bolivian marching powder by looks of it:
  13. When contracting I will usually be the climber, so I get that wage and also the profit from the job. When it comes to more technical stuff it makes far more sense to me to pay someone to do the climbing in half the time it would take me, if indeed I was skilled enough to do it in the first place.
  14. That sucks mate, I hope you get a new thing sorted soon.

  17. Alan Moore nails it: “The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless.” Global warming is a real thing too. We're utterly shafted as a species if we continue to carry on the way we do. I'll be alright but I do worry for my siblings' kids.
  18. Ian Lavery MP Don’t be fooled about the rising energy prices – in France, energy supply company EDF has had energy price rises on standing charges capped at just 4%, whereas here in the UK they have been capped at a rise of 54%. This cost of living crisis is not inevitable, but the result of political decisions made by this government.
  19. Lately there's been ads on here with sensible wages: £35-40K for a lead climber, I think that's fair rates. Minimum wage is £71.25 a day based on a 37.5 hour week; £100 a day PAYE is indeed good going for someone bereft of skills.
  20. I think that Eggs makes valid points and is right to state that £100 a day is a piss take.
  21. Valid points. I'm considering getting a job, after twenty odd years of doing my own thing, purely to have some time off from having to put up with myself as a boss.
