Default why is it so hard to find a damm carpenter

i have been trying to get some quotes for fitting a worktop in my kitchen (only bit of installing the kitchen i am not sure of, so thought i may as well get some quotes to get a pro to do it, and for the last 2 or so week si have only been able to get 1 person round, they dont show or have crap excuses why they couldnt make it, really pissing me off, think i may as well cut the worktop myself

Theres no chippy's about anymore mate because they've all gone to be IT Consultants thinking thats where the money is..



Plus they dont show Trumpton enough so kids dont here this !!

I like my job as a carpenter,
There's nothing I'd rather be.
I've had my tools for many long years,
They're all good friends to me.

A mallet and drill are in my bag
A file and gimmlet too.
Sand paper sheets a brace and bit.
A bradawl and some glue.

I like my job as a carpenter,
There's nothing I'd rather be.
I've had my tools for many long years,
They're all good friends to me.

I've chisels and saws all keen and sharp,
A jack and a smoothing plane.
I Know that oak will plane up true ,
while mahogany changes grain

I like my job as a carpenter,
There's nothing I'd rather be.
I've had my tools for many long years,
They're all good friends to me.

because of a shortage of joiners ,theres plenty money to be made in the building trade,its more likely they cant be bothered doing such a little job.
