If you've got a family and rent/mortgage to pay you can no longer
afford to have a job in construction (for example)

I thought plumbers were paid quite well.

I was talking more building sites.


New buildings need plumbing too.


You know what I mean. Digger operators, brickies, concrete layers etc.


But plumbers, electricians etc are also required.

Waitrose, Tesco and Sainsburys have entirely white English staff as far
as I can tell. Although the most usual language you'll hear from
customers, in Tesco at least, is Polish.


Probably depends on the locale.


Out in the fens.
