"Getting a man in" is next to impossible at the moment. I've had a toilet and cistern in my garage for two months, still boxed from Wicks. It will be after Christmas (How long after is still open) before the plumber can fit it, there are so few of them now they all have full books and long waiting lists. Same across all trades, they will come out quickly for emergencies but routine jobs have to join the queue.
We are paying the price for a couple of decades sending school leavers to "Uni" on some useless non-course that doesn't even let them earn the paltry 21k needed to pay back their loan, instead of encouraging them to learn a trade that will not only make them useful to society but actually earn them a proper wage.
