What job in Cardiff GAZ? The one in Caerphilly was Charles Church last summer, the floors came over from Ireland on Irish lorries for that job, the boys laying them didn't mess about either, very quick, (must be the good blockwork they are putting them on lol)

The engineering trades are well short of skilled staff theses days. The job I left at the Powerstation are now short 3 Control and Instrument Craftsmen and I was the only person who applied at the oil refinery where I now work.
