There's one interesting detail regarding tradesman that I only learned of yesterday by our boiler engineer who paid us a visit. In Northern Ireland (and maybe Scotland) many of the trades jobs have higher requirements for being licensed. The trades industry here is more insulated. In England however, licensing comes more easily and has fewer requirements for maintaining status. Immigration has had a very big effect in England that many people were ignoring, because the barrier to entry in these trades jobs was very low.
