I could brick pave a drive, sand a gym floor but not a bricklayer,specialist job, did shutter a concrete flight of stairs a few times, I was also a ceiling fixer until it fell out of favour, can do a bit of plastering and skimming my last working wage back in 1990 was £23,000 per year then I started out on my own earning about £50-60 k but perks on top company car, fuel, lots of cash in hand jobs and as much time off as i wanted.

Very good....Are you retired now and getting a work pension? My Brother-In-Law gets a pretty good one that he will receive untill he passes which hopefully will be many, many years down the road.
