So, as I remember a pack is what ? 400/500……I think I remember LBCs being about 344 ?

So that works out about 800 to 1200 per thousand ? Is that right ? 
Some profiles and flat flanks and you’d be earning at that mate surely ?

For the blocks, that’s don’t seem like great money that especially for concrete…..200 of those f***ing things a day for less than £200 !…..they could shove that up their arse ! lol 

I was on the hod for 8 year's worst blocks were what we called bollock busters big concrete building blocks that were mainly used in footings thank feck when they stopped using them and went on to the big square thermalite blocks. lol .

Wouldn't want to live in a house with them used in the ground though.Saying that I wouldn't buy a house on any new build site

Yeah, did that job myself as a kid, on railways jobs everything was massively over engineered and we did a few jobs with those 9inch 7 newton concrete blocks building storage sheds out of them ! 
f***ing murder, I wouldn’t even try and pick one up now days never mind spend a week moving a thousand of the f***ing thing’s ! 
I think they banned them in the end ??…..they must have weighed 75lb each.

My boy does labouring for a brickwork firm in the holidays, make me chuckle when he says “I’m knackered, we had to Load out the scaffolding today” and I’m like “All carried up a ladder ?” And he looks at me like I’m mad and says “Well, no, the bloke with the tele handler puts the packs up there but we have to move them !” lol 

f***ing tele handler indeed ! lol

I've heard hod carrying now days is nowt like it was in the late 80s early 90's when I was working for a large private house building company were everything was hodded up a ladder including the gobo that I also had to mix at the mixing point near the block with a big pile of sand and a pallet of cement and the lister diesel mixer non of that tub stuff. Lol.

Exactly like that mate, I used to work a 3 & 1 gang, muck, bricks, blocks and clean up…..I was about 18 ? 
I have to say, I don’t know if it’s a thing but most (not all) brick layers used to be total pricks…..I was on a job in tower hamlets knocking my pan in and these 3 c**ts was taking the piss and I ended up losing my temper and was chasing them round the scaffold with the shovel, at that moment I’d have cut their f***ing heads off……absolute f***ing pig ignorant trappy c**ts.

Funny having a little gathering down below all shouting “calm down, don’t do it” lol 

The best gang was a couple of old boys I did a bit for, good lads, no bollocks.

these days a pack averages 600 bricks...35/45 p each or there about to lay on pricework...most gangs are doing 3 or 4 packs a day depending on how quick they are....split between the brickies and labourers.....like I said,If they taking home £300 a day,then they are doing well....

Fair mate, decades since I had anything to do with stuff like that so I genuinely don’t know.

I started at 15 when my old man said if you aint going to school then get a f**king job.I weighed about 9st and the c**ts found it hilarious to make it my job to start the big diesel mixer every morning.we still chained all the bricks off the lorries then too.Im 50 now and still bump out if we've got a big extension and pull a couple of old retired brickies we know in to speed things up.Weve given up trying to find a decent youngun to do a bit of labouring.They all want picking up from there house every morning and then can't even be ready on time.Need telling 20times over how to do something and still can't grasp it.Sneaking off every chance they get to be on there phone and then moan about how much dough they think they should be on.F**k that,its easier to just crack on and do it ourselves.
