I was in a place called Helmsley this year approx. 20 miles from York, there was a bank being renovated into a hairdressers and the plasterers were in , I went along introduced myself and got talking to them, he told me him and his brother employed 5 men and were booked solid for next 7 months, and like owls turning work down,bottom line is this York,leeds,scarborough,hull are all big cities and within relatively close proximity never mind all the small market towns in the area, York was booming everywhere was busy , he told me if he works in leeds he charges 190.00 a day, and he gets it, this part of Yorkshire Harrogate included owls is a very affluent prosperous area, a lot of money and investment taking place,i live in Carlisle out in the sticks nearest big city is Newcastle 54 miles away, its a different world here, so while I am genuinely pleased that you are busy and I sincerely mean that, look at the bigger picture first, and sit and think and appreciate how lucky you are to live in such a prosperous area, as there are plasterers up and down the country are very quiet and like me see things in a different way,...... anyhoooooo rant over,...... while I was in Helmsley I got offered 2 weeks work in Rotherham and the plasterer in Helmsley asked me if I could help him for a few days, I was on holiday but I did put 1 handboard full of sand and cement on for him
