This latest spike in house prices is more money on top. They also pay less The average wage in housing construction is lower than it is in commercial construction and way lower than oil and gas House building is considered less skill hence they call it house chucking or something similar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What rule are you no longer having to follow now Brexit has been completed" I've not seen anyone in a similar interview answer that question successfully yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact the video is over two years old is probably the main reason he'd have struggled to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok missed that, but the question still works you just ask him to name a single rule he is frustrated by that he is looking forward to not having to follow. The entire Brexit campaign barely managed to answer that question outside of stopping foreigners from coming in and taking jobs. Mr fruit grower already has a pretty good rebuttal to that point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I don't know if I'm more disgusted with the message, or the cowardice of sending it not just through the letterbox, but via the mail system instead of having the balls to directly deliver their own abuse.
