We had some Eastern European builders do a lot of work in our offices. Came in at half the price as their competitors, spoke about 20% BS of their competitors, worked an extra 20% over their competitors at a quality that was above the price paid. What made it easier was that EE builders tended to be multi-skilled whereas local builders were constantly like, I need to get the plumber in, the electrician in, the bricky in, all of these ins with all these folks getting their cut made them extremely uncompetitive.
 
In before the lock. Never know when a mod is going to fly off the handle. It all hinges on how quickly they see this. If you get in a jamb, just say you've been framed.

It's time for some jokes so bad they will make you tut in disapproval.

I can count the number of times i've been to Chernobyl on one hand.

It's seven.


I've finally worked out why Spain are so good at football.

Nobody expects the Spanish in position.

A new teacher tries to make use of her psychology courses. The first day of class, she starts by saying, "Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!"

After a few seconds, Little Johnny stands up. The teacher asks, "Do you think you're stupid, Johnny?"

"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself."

Too many tradesmen cut corners and do shoddy work these days, even straight forward simple tasks. When I compare workmanship from 20, 30, 40 years ago you can tell a big difference.

These days they want to do it quick, use cheapest materials, and have it done in less time than it should take. This is even from legit time served tradesmen, not just cowboys and fly by nighters.
