Hard time in business

[landman]

The Housing Association I am currently working for announced today that they are taking on another 200 plus units from developers in various areas.
The finish quality of ones I have snagged is awful and they were meant for the private buyer so there was not even the excuse of "its only social housing".
My old boss, who runs a very well known retirement home building company told me yesteday that they are now registered as an RSL (Registered Social Landlord) and are looking to shift a retirement block in the midlands with no sales to HA.

Its hitting hard.

Times like this make me sooooooooooooo glad I ended up working in this sometimes hateful field of work.

Any jobs over at your place?

As of Friday I joined the thousands who previously worked for housebuilders.

Sounds like your lot need someone to buy them some more

*he said in vain hope*

PM me... I can give you a few leads as heard some interesting news today at work. Not my usual idiot post, serious, its work related and local

Russ.. Ur so so right... The original council houses were some of the finest houses ever built, although not to everyones taste, they have stood the test of time, modernisation and some can be considered to be more sustainable than all the modern rubbish when fitted with all the latest energy saving kit.

Today I had a tour round 16 flats that the HA I work for have just bought off a large national developer. They are in a prime regeneration area in Portsmouth, fancy gates, underground carpark, entry fobs.... but they are crap.

Cant say too much incase "Big Brother" is lurking (gotta be careful in this climate!) but they really were awful.
One of the site chaps showing us round asked "Bet you would like to live here aye mate".... my answer was polite but No thanks, I'll stay in my place in the woods.

Landman... dont forget to PM me...

I eat my words....
Myself and my Assistant were let go this morning due to the impending "Management restructure"...

I think we had ruffled a few feathers by accidentally exposing some serious failures at senior level and it being minuted at a meeting.
Nothing was intentional but was obviously picked up by the Grand Fromage's and those who will be applying for their own jobs got the arsehole.

Its their loss.

I await the phone ringing tomorrow, fingers crossed for Wokingham to call first.

all the best rex - few litres of brake fluid here if you want it

[Lord Pig-Pen]

Would you be referring to brake fluid for uses other than in brake lines?

Just got back from losing the family silver in Vegas and now catching up here.
Crap news Rex.  Keep your end up and go cane the Vectra on the 'private airfield'.
