You know things are bad when the construction business gets its own stress toy!
Here at Demolition News Towers, we receive all manner of goodies (most of which we then give away as competition prizes). In recent months, we’ve had machine models, enough USB thumb drives to store the sum of man’s knowledge, more umbrellas than an average day at Wimbledon and considerably more baseball caps than we have heads.
However, every once in a while, we receive a package that takes us all by surprise; and that was the case this morning when our postman pitched up carrying a box from Make Mine A Builders, a construction trade specific brand of tea (our overseas readers can probably stop reading now – we realise that tea is a very British thing!)
In amongst a box containing tea, a thermal flask, a mug, a t-shirt and the ubiquitous USB was a rubber stress toy that just about sums up the current state of the market.
