Labourer to lay garden paving slabs


Recommended Posts

Very confusing post - entitled "Labourer" to lay paving slabs followed by "professional etc etc". Go to B&Q Old Kent Rd 7.00am onwards and there are loads of east european benefits scroungers touting for work at ?70 a day cash in hand or seek the services of indiginous tax paying tradesmen who you feel safe leaving the keys to your house with. The world is your oyster.

Before laying 'slabs', a suitable foundation must be laid. Asking for detailed quotes is the right way to go. Picking up a labourer at B&Q is just that - picking up a labourer! Someone has to organise sand and cement and cement mixer, and whacker plate and hardcore...etc. So not a helpful post there JDC.


If you still are looking for quotes lionandmouse, feel free to PM me.

Anyone up and out at 7am desperately looking for work sounds pretty motivated / determined to find employment.

The idea that 'indigenous' tradesman don't do cash in hand work is laughable.

Sounds more like you just don't like foreigners to me.

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
