The World is his Oyster

The building game as they call it can be kind or cruel. It has its ups and downs but one thing is for sure it takes its toll on the human body. Most builders are heading into dangerous body structural problems as they age. Bricklayers, plasterers and general operatives are struggling later in their working life, some as early as their forties or fifties. If it is not hips it is knees. A lot of it is because of lifting too heavy weights or working in wet conditions. Not looking after themselves in health and safety issues doesn't help either.
