Im quote taken aback at just how much appreciation I have for this fine gentleman. The brickie who I served my apprenticeship with was exactly like this fella. LPM construction, if anyone near Bradford is after the very best builders in the area. Anyway, he was an intensely proud working class man was my gaffer. He would sleep at night if he'd thought he'd left a job NOT perfect. It physically aggravated him, and he uses to do my nut driving all over the place to do a snag list or repoint a corner section AFTER we'd done a full days work. I used to curse the life out of him, but what he taught me was the value of workmanship, pride in your work, and most importantly, upholding the long and proud reputation of being "a brickie." He took a phenomenal amount of pride in that, in being a man who earns with his hands, with hard work and earning your way. Yeah, he worked us like pack horses, but now I'm wisened, I understand what he was doing. He was Instilling a responsibility in me to never let our fellow brickies down, to work hard with pride, and always do the very very best job you can do. He'd sit and marvel for hours sometimes at a dry stone wall, and you were knackered if he caught hold of a skilled tradesman. He would waffle away with older brickies and stone masons and sparkies and ironmongers for HOURS, but it was kinda sweet to see him in his element, with _HIS_ kinda people, OUR kinda people... Bricklaying is an inherently working class community and much like my old boss, and mentor, I have the deepest affection for, respect for, and admiration of, working class heroes like this fine gentleman here. Worra boy!
I’m a 40 year old brikkies labourer who has been in jail for ten years I’m trying to turn my life around, My boss is like this but he’s 45 just very wise his dad was a brikkie & all the lads he has working for him are old boys in there 70’s, he is now instilling these morals and values that I’ve always had but kind of lost in the violent nasty world of prison. In short these guys are people I look up too & I love the brikkie values, respect for there work & the way they work
I used to be left labouring for a 73 year old semi retired bricky in the 90's. Always first in and last out. We used to have some great times and I learned way more than I ever did in tech school 😊
I've always wondered what them numbers were ... my dads got 3 with City Council on them. 😮 get the old brick a bacon bitty a flask of tea and a stool.. his poor back, and shoulders . 🥇
You know this is fake because before he even turned up on site, he'd want the window out, the brickwork toothed in, and the new bricks stacked round the back for him.
He had the window out in seconds . Toothed out and laying within 30 mins he is nearly finished just got a couple bricks on another wall to do. £250 for 3 hours work is good
@nothanks9050 100% agree. Like with anything, for years, you are underpaid for the amount work you do. Then there comes a point when you are overpaid for the amount of work you do, because people are paying you for the years of experience you have at a specialist skill.
Come back ten minutes later and find the old bricklayer sawing through the guys belongings inside the house, through the floor, saws his way under the pavement and across the street to his favourite café, pops up out the ground like a looney toons characters
Big fan of the stolen tools and machinery. I once bought some stolen gear and tried to sell it on to make a few quid. Tried to sell it to a bloke in the pub turns out the gear was his, it had been nicked out his lock up the week previous. There was hell on.
