Time was when you couldn't get a decorator to come to the house for less than £250 a day. A decorator. No training required, no certification, just a van, paint and a brush.
So basically they created the situation themselves by overpricing their services to an absurd extent! The Harry Enfield ‘Loadsamoney’ character has a lot of truth to it and as a punter I’d far prefer not to be ripped off. I guess in some respects it echoes the over-militance of the unions ushering in Thatcher. I’m a believer both in the market and in regulation/fair employment, tip things too far either way and things tend to go very wrong.
