peterg Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Whats all these comments about 9-5 I've bin in the Building trade since 1965 and I dont think I've ever worked 9-5 ah yes, let's see now, in my experience that'll be something like.... breakfast in the cafe just down the road from the current job from 8 - 9:30 then turn up at job around 9:45, shake head and suck through teeth for 20 minutes while contemplating starting work then say 'any chance of a cuppa?' followed by reading the paper and drinking tea...start work around 10:30 and then slope off back to the cafe about 12, return to 'work' about 2:30 'had to go and collect some materials guvnor' and then finish at 4pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfieldman Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 ah yes, let's see now, in my experience that'll be something like.... breakfast in the cafe just down the road from the current job from 8 - 9:30 then turn up at job around 9:45, shake head and suck through teeth for 20 minutes while contemplating starting work then say 'any chance of a cuppa?' followed by reading the paper and drinking tea...start work around 10:30 and then slope off back to the cafe about 12, return to 'work' about 2:30 'had to go and collect some materials guvnor' and then finish at 4pm You have forgoten about the two hours waiting for the permits to be issued and the scaffolding to be reinspected [cos someone pulled the scaf tag when the gaffers head was turned] But it doesn't matter if the kettle has been PAT tested or not though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
