whos still working

No need for all this nonsense and panic, we should have continued with herd resistance, it is supposed to be a free country and anyone who wished to hide away or keep their kids off school should have been allowed to do so. I would have been prepared to take risk and carry on as normal. We will still need to build immunity anyway or perhaps we will be forced into having a vaccine

we will all be fooked when the merchants shut.
Be dearer then gold in a month this. Could of had a bargain lads

It's tough now, but it will get much worse before things improve. The sad but inevitable fact is that the lower down the ladder people are the worse they will be affected. That has happened at every recession I can remember, the earliest being how bad things were for my Dad in the construction industry when Suez went t1ts up.

At the moment for me we're in the middle of a big job which puts pressure on me to keep people working and earning. Lee, the brickies, roofer, suppliers etc etc. The scaffolders and brickies are just starting to have their big sites close.

Why is any of this putting pressure on me when I have work? Well I know these lads, they all have lives, families, rent/mortgage etc. and without work they may well lose all/any of those things. People will be bankrupted, evicted, divorced and sadly some will top themselves. Anything at all that I can do to slow or stop that must be done. a) because I'm not a c**t. b) because I know what it's like as a kid to be on the end of a recession in the building game.

I’m a similar position with it.
The crux will be when the merchants close next week, as it’s game over then.
 
I’ve probably about 10-12 fellas that are directly relying on me for work and wages.
The work will be there still when this is over as there fixed contracts/new build and we’re half way through them, it’s just a case of when we’re back to it. An estimate at the moment could be 6-8 weeks
, plus hard times.

I've already spoken to the customer to make sure she's aware that there will be problems long after this is over as a lot of people won't be available to come back.
 
put thumbs up yes or sad face for no /most of my domestic stuff cancelled

been told an hour ago
bovis homes shut down
taylor whimpey shut down

not sure if it's TRUE

weve got health and saftey meeting this afternoon
on the situation
so we might get shut down


my opinion were ready for full lock down.

cant spread it through the country.
there will be no medical staff left.
 
Another issue on the other side will be materials because the factories, mines etc will have stopped production. Weeks to wind down a brick kiln, and weeks to bring it back online for example. No bricks/blocks no walls. No walls no roof. No walls or roof, no plaster and so it goes on.

There is that yes.
Fundimently the construction sectors in good shape, once all this drops off in a few months there’s no reason why it won’t srill be in good shape monies cheap, still not enough houses for demand, plenty of eco work about etc.

Yep they’ll be a lag won’t they.

One of the sites I’m due to start on next week, is closing tomorrow, so it plausible that others are going the same way.
 
Went down to the pub last night to have a last drink, big pub only 6 customers, barrels finishing and no more being put on. Be months before I go back. If merchants and supplies close next week I,m done. We'll survive because of savings & missus is working from home now and earns more than me. - if she stays well.

my step dad delivers beer for brewerys
he was left at home this week.
 
The only way I’m not working is if there’s people with guns on the roads telling me to go home. Never been busier
