New Library Falling Apart Already

it's fair to say that the stupid rules allow people to carry on with loads of trades without adequate training. Then you get a situation such as the Electrical trade where of course it's critical that all engineers are trained to a high standard. But it seems as though an electrician needs a new certificate every time someone designs a new plug.

Self employment is at least as old as employment. I fail to see how lower standards of workmanship can be attributed to being self employed. Employers pay for poor work, customers do not. So the truth is in fact quite the opposite.

Before self employment most of the big companies took on many apprentices, after self employment they stopped employing them and being self employed where mostly one or two man working together and could not afford to train apprentices, hence the demise of skilled workmen in the building trade

when the new library opened 16 months ago i went onto the roof garden to have a look and commented how ill fitting the paving stones were...yesterday repairs were going on to place the ones outside the windows....last week the down escalator on the fouth floor was not working as was one of the lifts....it just gets worse..
