Apparently electricians are earning over 150k a year!!

[Gavin John Hyde]

Just been shown a story on dailymail where some reporter is saying electricians are earning over 150k a year!!
What planet are they on?
Should anybody have info on employers paying electricians this much can you send me their address so i can apply.
I reckon some idiot has taken pimlicos 95 per hour and multiplied it by 40 x 52 or something daft.
Electricians are earning £156,000 a year | Daily Mail Online - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4874400/Electricians-earning-156-000-year.html
The truth is the article is a secret pro eu story as no doubt it will be followed with one saying how we wont cope without foreign tradesmen.

You mean you aren't earning £156k per year the trouble is Joe Public will read that and believe it and will think that all Electricians are minted and are ripping them off.

Them firms who do 5 week crash courses will love the article. They will use it to get more people signed up to be part p qualified!

Some may turn over 150K a year,
That doesn't mean they get to keep it all !
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story !

Admit it, your a Daily Mail reader.

The DM wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit them on the arse.

They'll be queuing up round the block for the Electrical Trainee courses.

Nah, I am not a DailyMail reader myself, got a plasterer doing some work for me this week and hes a bit middle class in fairness to him, likes his Dailymail, M and S sandwiches etc when on a job , hes a former army officer and a damn fine plasterer so we tolerate his slightly middle class traits... even though we do take the mick relentlessly...

 

[Devonchris]

Ok I believe you. Would have sounded more convincing along the lines of:

I've found this jumbled up copy of the Daily Mail, is it all right to read it like this or should I sort out the page numbers? Also, if I complete the prize crossword who should I notify? I will, of course, be purchasing my regular paper later and I will make sure it is all read correctly. Just thought I'd run this past you guys first.

I've met quite a few Army Officers who were plastered, but never the other way round.

I met quite a few when in the forces.... It was always the Ruperts that had the weird hidden traits and when drinking they would come out...

 

[Devonchris]

Yes. If it was ORs it was hooliganism but with Ruperts it was high spirits. They would be forgiven anything, even (as you say) coming out. Except perhaps wanting to be a plasterer. I bet he was drummed out.

For the sake of my mental health I deleted the Daily Mail app over a year ago. Feel 100% better for it

Wot your (that'll get DPG) on about, I get a free DM when I shop in Waitrose with me loyalty card. Nothing posh about it

 

[Octopus]

I suspect that the Daily Mail has the decimal point in the wrong place .............. £15 600 is probably more accurate!

Except the rather large show of wines
(now designer beer is fighting back ..)
(If we are on about Waitrose )

 

[telectrix]

what in hell is designer beer? all my purchases have labels, some better designed than others.

Don't buy me wine from WR, too friggin expensive. SB is too friggin average. Tesco is just right. Sounds like a fairy tale

 

[telectrix]

15K /year is doable on new builds on price work. £900 per house, work 12 hour shifts, 4 in a week, pay 2 young lads min wage to do all the donkey work, someone else to do all the testing and paperwork.
