@TradesTalk Well I didn’t improve my attendance record this week…. #TradesTalk

@hb_chippy @TradesTalk @bandofbuilders You mean old when you say wise don’t you.

@TradesTalk @bandofbuilders A2 I'd start speaking to friends (present company all included) and try to find some help or advise. @SamArmstead is a very wise owl and has helped a lot in the past BoB are a brilliant with the contacts they have. #TradesTalk

Q2 If you were feeling low, do you know where to access support? #TradesTalk (def start with @bandofbuilders who run Big Brew events and can signpost other resources)

@TradesTalk A4 April 2026 I’ve also had messages from the window cleaner to say his price is going up & one local cafe has put prices up. Supporting them remains the focus Trades need to know their value & not be worried about making a fair profit. #TradesTalk

Q4 When did you last put your hourly rate up? #TradesTalk

@TradesTalk A3 - outlook diary which is a shame as my iPhone prefers the Apple calendar & copies every single calendar app it finds even when I untick them so I get a lot of this #TradesTalk

Q3 how do you manage your daily timetable? An app? Diary? In your head? 👀 #TradesTalk

@TradesTalk @DrBoilers Actual A1 Work - do not like being late and do what I can to avoid being late. Personal - late, I mean I’m making an entrance (quietly) #TradesTalk

@TradesTalk @DrBoilers A1 Clearly late 😳 #TradesTalk

Q1 are you late or punctual? #TradesTalk

@AndyWoodturner *rustic

This a brand new out-of-the-packet, *precision* woodworking tool. And it’s made by a very well known company. And just look at the fucking state of it. Genuinely shocked.

@DrBoilers @TradesTalk 4am? Not like you to be late……

@TradesTalk A2: Quite regularly and always a hotel - i want the most minimal personal interaction and the ability to arrive at 4am if necessary #TradesTalk

Q2 Do you stay away for work very often? If so, do you prefer a b&b or a hotel? #TradesTalk

@AndyWoodturner Last seen heading for the 🌙 So many quality replies on the Kit Kat feed, reminds me of what this platform used to predominantly be like.

Police believe it may be too late to recover the stolen goods, and it may already have been melted down for palm oil ingots...

@TradesTalk @DrBoilers Have a great holiday ☀️ 😎 🍦 #TradesTalk

That’s it for tonight. There’s no #TradesTalk next week (unless @DrBoilers is free?) as I’m on holiday! 🌴

@TradesTalk A5 Why, what’s happening tomorrow? #TradesTalk Hard to beat what’s coming out of the White House at the minute to be fair..

Q5 Will you be playing any pranks tomorrow? #TradesTalk

@TradesTalk A4 Used to, should start again. Ones though that I’d tell the hotel, as we did for The Scholar in Edinburgh recently. Lovely hotel, fantastic staff & a decent location with the bus stop outside and loads of car chargers in the car park (for future reference!) #TradesTalk

Q4 Do you ever leave reviews for hotels, good or bad? #TradesTalk

@hb_chippy @TradesTalk #true

@SamArmstead @TradesTalk Agreed Sam about the air con and hopefully it won't sound like a bag of spanners in a cement mixer 🤞 #TradesTalk

Q3 What features should a hotel room have? I vote for sockets by the bed! #TradesTalk

@hb_chippy @keellelectrical @TradesTalk Get one in the farmers barn - save you going home at all…. 😁

@keellelectrical @SamArmstead @TradesTalk That does look strangely comfortable 😆

@keellelectrical @TradesTalk @hotelindigo The Woodsman’s restaurant is my main focus to be honest 😁 Always been a pleasure eating there. Nice short hop to the river as well.

@SamArmstead @TradesTalk @hotelindigo Just down the road from me 😎 #TradesTalk

@keellelectrical @TradesTalk It’s an earned skill. Thanks for your service.

@SamArmstead @TradesTalk I could sleep anywhere C130 (Hercules) tailgate 😎

@CHAPSHeating @TradesTalk Barbados suddenly looks appealing again 🤣 Hotel / Air BnB in Leith or Portabello next time I think. We can always go in the Caledonian for 🫖 & 🍰

@SamArmstead @TradesTalk Absolutely, think it’s about 3/400 for the night

In honour of my fancy but cheap hotel… Q1 Where’s the nicest hotel you’ve ever stayed in - and what made it so nice? #TradesTalk

@CHAPSHeating @TradesTalk It did look pretty impressive. Should we add it to the future places to stay list? Have to save up first… could take a while 💰

@TradesTalk A 1. The Caledonian in Edinburgh at the end of Princes Street, lovely place ❤️

@keellelectrical @TradesTalk Sleep wasn’t an issue though 😁

@TradesTalk Used to when In the Army but the accommodation wasn’t all that great #TradesTalk
