i wouldn't even consider it now tbh mate, im self employed and use to have about 5 BIG companys i use to sub contract for but over the past year they've all started losing contracts left right and centre, im down to the last company who has work now and they'll be laying people off soon too which i think will see me out of work due to having a broken wrist.
the other month my foreman put an add in a paper for a chippy and had around 500 calls in 3 days thats how bad it is, i wouldn't even consider it mate.
