    It’s great, free onsite parking. Well thank you!

    Fed up with having my shackles stolen, this will learn ‘em.

    This is where inflation goes over my head, if those three lads were employed on £200/day and the company they worked for were charging them out at £450, would that cause inflation? I’m sure I should know this, but I’m blank on it.

    That wasn’t my question, but we can overlook that. On site in Manchester recently brickies (2&1) are earning £800/thousand bricks laid, the team I was speaking to said they were averaging 1400 bricks/day on a 3 way split. Slightly better for the working man, don’t you think?

    Are you going to answer my reply to you above?

    That’s one of the reasons I voted leave, brickies might not have been in minimum wage but the wages weren’t exactly great, now sites are having to pay proper wages to get lads on site. Before Brexit a brickie was doing well to make £200/day. Would you be happy putting in a back breaking day for less than £200?

    Three to four days/nights does me, that said, I’ve chosen not to buy a house, why would I commit to another 18 years of 5/6 days a week to pay a mortgage, I’d be more surprised than most if I last that long!

    That seems to be the size of it, some think Starmer will set the new pace, most just seem to believe they have been betrayed. Politics here is a mile away from East Anglia. Intriguing to watch after being away for so long.

    I’m taking that with a barrow full of salt, the Labour supporters I speak to, many of who lent their vote to Boris say they will be moving back over, not because they think Labour will do any better, but they believe it’s time for change.

    I collected a 5’ tree for a mate yesterday, £50.

    Let’s hope it doesn’t end up like this.

    It’s £585 all in, if it’s right it will be blacked at the same time. I’d have to do the blacking, or pay to get it done.

    I’ve been to have a look, it’s been refitted recently inside, but it needs painting, not a cheap job. I’ve sent pictures to a surveyor who will come and get it out of the water, he seems a straight enough bloke, without seeing it, he says it looks like strong money, but made by a good boatbuilder, it will go into dry dock in two weeks time. We’ll see. Oh, that’s £585 to have it looked at, the seller says there is room for negotiation.

    If you want to moor in a marina it isn’t a cheap way of living, I’d look for an online mooring on the offside. They are about just difficult to find. It’s a case of asking if there is any availability as you pass.
  16. eggsarascal
    I’ll cruise initially until I can find a suitable mooring. I’ll do casual work for agencies along the way.

    Red is fine, there is a split between propulsion and domestic though.
  18. eggsarascal
    Yes I’ve lived on the inland waterways in the past, and thank ya.

    I can’t afford a house,,well I could but it would mean a lot of work, so after taking a blow to the head today I’m going to look at this tomorrow, if it looks alright and the out of water survey comes back ok I’ll be moving, slowly.

    Are these the idle you speak of or not? There will always be tossers, but, genuinely, how often do you meet them.
  21. eggsarascal
    You keep going on about outrage of the idle, yet your mate claims to only work 100 days a year, and have a sideline. Most folk work 232 days a year, are these the idle you speak of? Or does it make a difference if you are an high end earner?

    Try to avoid the ‘system’, but it isn’t easy. I really can’t decide for you, I live a different live style than you.

    I think it was Benjamin Franklin, death and taxes are the only certainty in this world.
  24. eggsarascal
    It is cast, and it didn’t half hurt, do you know that sickly feeling?

    This morning I was footing a ladder for a mate who was replacing a down pipe, the tw@t yanked at the main pipe and the ‘swan neck’ bit pictured came down at what seemed like breakneck speed, towards my head, I’ve had better starts to a day.
