My dad was a brickkie from 40's to the 80's. He went through a 3 year apprentiship and had a full set of 'Bricklayer Encyclopedia'. He worked hard and was not paid when weather interfered. Also he was on a 'Piece Rate'. On saturday mornings he did extra for mates etc. and I laboured for him in the late 70s...a 'fiver' for that. Straight down the pub on sat night and I had earned it.

I remember when a lot of guys in the building trade wore old suit jackets and trousers, usually an old suit, and the surprising thing was that these brickies rarely had any mortar droppings on his shoes, not boots, but always shoes those days, my old bricklaying partner was exactly one of these men, he even wore a shirt and tie. Today’s men wouldn’t be able to cope with those days now

My brother is an amazing bricklayer to keep the faith in some men he is one of the best. I'm a mechanic always never thought much of bricklayers. I left to go to art college stain glass artist. When I needed some work, I laboured for him a few years whilst I learned glass. To work my bro and help has been fantastic. Nothing but total respect for Brick layers as creative as any artist. Plus I have learned loads. I still help from time to time when he needs extra help. He's 40 I'm 39 all I have has bean earned by graft. 👍

But people that don’t know shit about building always say they were built better back then. Absolute rubbish no dpc no insulation poor foundations for just a start.

As a brickie from the age of 15 until I had had enough I could watch this and enjoy it , but what makes my piss itch is seeing a politician in his shirt sleeves " having a go " and after laying possibly 3 bricks he hands back the trowel, has anyone told these charlatans that they only need to lay another 497 bricks that day to earn a living wage , no expenses or soft leather seats for any brickies I know!

You can't beat a good brickies labourer. I've seen them arrive early set out the bricks and blocks, knock up mortar and have it laid out on "spot" boards just the right height for the brickies and all ready when they arrive. Then they supply materials all day and stay behind to tidy up the site. A good labourer can keep two bricklayers going all day and actually earn more money than the brickies. A bad labourer will get a lot of abuse if he holds up the work.

My dad was an ok bricklayer and my friend laid bricks from 13yrs old to 58yrs old, my friend would build pillars and then smash/knock them about afterwards to get them to look level. He used to lose his rag when i called him a cowboy. Self taught from his bricklaying father and laying for 35yrs still never made him a proper qualified bricklayer/tradesman like these guys from 80yrs ago.
