Sorry could`nt resist, will now behave myself and be a bit more serious..

Lifeisbutadream

My moaning was all very tongue in cheek. I would much rather OH was out working than doing my house - After 15 years of living with him it will never change.

I actually quite like my half extension - its 'quirky'

Getting back on track a bit, May and July will see another generation of school leavers looking to for work.Given that some would like a career in the industry and the fact that more small to middle sized companies are going "pop" who will give the youngsters the "on site" training that is crucial????.

Surely the government must see there is and has been a massive problem ,its all very well giving people an NVQ within the classroom but as any tradesmen will tell you they all learned far more from the on site experience.

Don't get me started on the 'NVQ' in joinery and carpentry that our apprentice is doing :rolleyes:

I agree - I dont know where they expect all these new people to train up.

Trawling the Jobcentre web site looks like rates hit hard especially in the south east.
