The poor stat of our building trade

[Bodd]

Are you lot talking about the sites?

Yes more so but I do see some sights most weeks.

What I see tonight has got to be one of the worst. I got an emergency call out.
When I attended site I could only laugh at the quality of work. I past the buck and got out as soon as I could

 

[Brigadier]

No wonder a £15k car has a longer warranty than a (x hundred k) house nowadays.
What a sad state of affairs.

I pat the buck

Eh?

Is that an Essex expression, or a plumbers term.

And why would you want to pat a male rabbit?

Do you understand why such training exists ?

 

[Notch7]

Do you understand why such training exists ?

risk of litigation which in turn means onerous insurance conditions.

Correction.You're so pedantic.

Can I use the same word for you.?
