Is Work slow for everyone?

[Octopus]

This thread makes me chuckle a little bit because so many posters don't give their location - work could be slow on the moon, in Timbuctoo or in Huddersfield!

You never know there may be people looking at this thread who need people, and those who don't give their location could well be missing out!

very little work on for us at the moment and ive got find a way put the missis though college as she wants to become a photographer im in 2 minds wether see it through or jack in sparkying alltogether my hearts no longer in it waking up in the morning wondering if im getting laid off today or tommorrow

ive seen it bad last year but never this bad seen guys i went college with who passed their 2330 and nvq 3 become qualified and they stacking shelfs in morrisons or on the dole and i can imagine more and more sparks heading that way

been to sites where most of the sparks are non english speaking earning 8ph and english speaking sparks with 2391 earning 3 quid more the industry is in dire straights and cant see it improving

Well this blows the myth of a severe shortage of sparks maybe this will turn down the volume on the feeding frenzy of guys being sold the 50k a year dream you too can be an electrician in 6 weeks yet the funny thing is the Schemies are still selling these courses where the are pretending everything is ok sadly employers will accept EEC sparkies with dubious eastern european trade cards who will not be here in 5 years when the customer is looking for them to sort out the mess they made mind you maybe I will get more of it.

So I put something together as a result of this thread. What's really scary is the amount of google ads that are appearing that clearly indicate the advertiser has no idea how the system works. e.g. viewer physically located in London (along with his internet service provider), seeing ads from all over the country. What a shame those sparks are throwing away their advertising budget.

Me thinks Dan should add a specific "area" for people to look at where this sort of "realistic" information can be available without people having to wade through masses and masses of threads!

I think the main reason for the lack of work is.......
Democracy and capitalism have failed us.

Turns out the commies had it right all along....
You don't hear people in china complaining about lack of work.
