    BOOM: Some theatre people find new jobs...

    ...workout the help of that stupid government tool. Suppose it helps they weren't ballerinas!

    Manchester theatre staff use skills to upgrade homes after Covid layoffs | Manchester | The Guardian

    A number of theatre workers who lost their jobs when the coronavirus crisis forced live venues to close are retraining to insulate and upgrade homes as part of the fight against climate breakdown.

    Stage hands, technicians and joiners from theatres and live venues across Manchester and the north-west are using their skills to retrofit homes in the region, installing insulation, fitting windows and upgrading heating systems.

    The scheme was set up by Andrew Glassford, 29, who had worked as a sound engineer before the pandemic hit. He said: “I am really proud and pleased with what we have achieved, just for the fact that I have been able to get my friends work that is meaningful, that helps them but also helps tackle the climate crisis.”

      This is the reality if your job is at risk you probably need to retrain.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
