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.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
