Getting back to something close to uk.d.i.y. I worked at finding jobs for
people in the building industry during the 70s and managed a close-on
100% success rate to get joiners, brickies, plasterers, H&V Engineers, &c
in work at the end of a six-moth training course. Employment prospects
never got back to that in the 80s and 90s - and house prices didn't go
down because that 'over-employment' had disappeared.

When anyone can get jobs any time they want, theyre not competing for those
jobs, and standards fall and fall. Too many British workers are far too
lazy for my liking.

When no-one can get the job they want they take whatever comes and don't do
themselves justice. their lazy bosses think that because they are getting work
for practically nothing they're doing well whilst in fact the whole system is
working way below potential. Your 'liking' makes for a sick society.
