    Tell me about it mate dead in the water at the mo.
    As for area i'm flexible if the price covers my running costs then i'll go anywhere.
    We do everything except for wood.
    Now looking towards Hong Kong as the misses has just been offered quite a good relocation package for a production manager based there for a large uk retailer in the clothing industry been googling but can't seem to find anything or may be our job title is called something else over there.
    Not sure on moving to Hong Kong myself don't tell her, but I won't hold her back.

    Jesus mate big move that. Have u got kids?
    Do you work private jobs or for builders
    Did u see my council post? The builders I work for ain't got much on, but I have a lot of LVT jobs on. If they dry up though we will be in trouble.
    We work for 3 local builders but they are just getting by.
    Hope it picks up jay, moving to china is big life step pal.

    I do have kids but they live with their mum we separated ages ago and they're all working now themselves.
    As for work mostly local shops not the big chains just the sole traders and some of the contract companies in my area, plus the odd job here and there for myself.
    As for moving to Hong Kong Daz when we flew into HK international airport in April as I looked out of the window you see tower blocks going up all over the place theres a massive amount of construction going on over there at the moment and in my head construction equals work. We'll see she hasn't made her mind up yet and they are trying to force her hand on salary which she won't commit to I told her to go for 75k you're already on 50k a year now so the 75k will compensate the upheaval and moving.

    That said Sidney but here in the uk that salary hits the high tax bracket what she pays in tax and ni is an average monthly wage for someone.
