Re: Australia - or should that be Tradieland?!
Is it my imagination or is there a proliferation of ''tradies'' in Australia?
Every second bloke seems to be a tradie of some kind. In my business I meet lots of people and vast, vast numbers are tradies. Very few professionals in business suits around.
In the UK, people seemed to do a very wide range of different things for a living. Here in Melbourne, it's all builders, concrete workers etc etc.
Is there a reason for this?

Can't say I know or socialise with any tradies, and I've lived in Australia on and off for decades...
All countries need people in all the professions. I don't see how it could be claimed Australia doesn't have office workers...
