Affordable housing

Radio 5 phone in this morning - lack of skilled bricklayers mentioned. The East European guys were good but of course aren't here any more.

A good quality brickie is laying 300-500 bricks a day to a good standard. Some house builders won’t pay them full whack if they don’t lay 1000+ bricks a day so you get a sense of standard of some new builds - brickworks likely going to be off line and all rough backed at that speed. So were they good or were they fast?

I’d not want to work in an industry that doesn’t value workmanship over speed.

The other problem is the apprentice brickies are missing in Tenerife
