its always been who you know, not what you know! always has been always will be!!! as for commercial scaffolding what your now stating phil, now thats different, those companys/contractors are alot of the time individual, partner or family owned firms! so its in there interest to want the grafters an men who know the job well, obviously!! the likes of powerstations, offshore,oil refinarys, are where the "who u know, not what u know" comes in! u stated the top scaffs always find the good work, am sorry phil but those are the top paid jobs, u cant earn the money on the street as u can on the powerstations etc, some commercial/street firms pay price where you can earn maybe near the same, but the average wage on street/commercial is not top money, therefore top scaffs are,nt earning the best money. little jimmy the gaffers nephew with 6month exp is earning the top money!!!!
u tell me a "top scaff who earns" £1400 a week house bashing??
2bob powerstation????
2bob powerstation????
that wasnt the point, the point is the good men never get what they deserve compared to the "jimmys" who know people! i do agree totally with good men stay in work, but all depending on what sites! an it aint fair, coz the good scaffs often dont get the chance to prove them selfs on good sites!
yea, hswt £700 a week, £2800 a month! u only work 2weeks a month!!!??????............... £1400 aweek worked

And your putting in 12 hours for 7 days.
if all we wana work is 38hrs a week then we are in the wrong trade! personnely i would rather work as many hrs as poss, to better myself an family as iam sure alot of other men would?? this day an age you dont get that chance in most jobs.
