I would guess at £80 max - probably get steady work for ROK - or not as they went bust
But doing bricky / spread etc. for similar company on Social Housing repairs Employed as a plumber on Housing Association kept me going from 1980 - 87 with a 15% mortgage Back in the days of Direct Labour . Got out just before Maggie sacked the lot and said it was cheaper to employ subbies . I`ve got 7 years of pension waiting for me @ 60 - that`ll send us on a world cruise As a 3rd year app. way back I was doing Private Jobs @ weekends for £1.00 an hour - that bought 4 pints on Sat. night - how are you doing Pro Rata - can you afford to buy the = of 16 pints for a Sat. mornings work .
. But then you haven`t got Gas Board privatisation to look forward to - and money for nothing shares - and when you retire you`ll have paid taxes to keep all us baby boomers in pensions - no one to keep you . Better rig up the gas supply now Good Luck , you`re gonna need it .As a 3rd year app. way back I was doing Private Jobs @ weekends for £1.00 an hour - that bought 4 pints on Sat. night - how are you doing Pro Rata - can you afford to buy the = of 16 pints for a Sat. mornings work .

Sorry I don't really understand any of that. . Interested to see how things are financially for a "nearly finished" apprentice in 2011 . Seemed like a good idea to work it back in time to pints of beer . I spent 10 years from 1970 - 1980 getting through a lot of beer . . Gas Board Privatisation was the biggest sell of of state owned - ie. taxpayer owned -assets by any tory government - it released £ billions and every tom dick and harry was an overnight shares owner - ( exept me , I`m a true socialist and never bought any ) . So that`s all gone and the cushy jobs at the old Gas Boards are history - it`s all hard graft with some poxy line manager on your back at British Gas now - apparently . So that`s not an easy career option . As to you paying for us old farts when we draw our state pensions - that`s how the system works , those working pay for the retired - via tax . Problem is there are many more of us than there are of you . Basically it`s going to be a LOT harder for you during your working life than it was for any of us born in the `50s. . Rig up the gas supply in your house and a new heating system - while the gas lasts - It may run out worldwide by the time you retire .
