I think I saw this girl on first dates once. She took the piss out of her date the whole time 😂

The reason that the vast majority of bricklayers are male is that very few women would consider doing that job.

I'm 45 male when I was younger I did work for some masonry companies. i did very little bricklaying but i did do the labor work and I was mainly a lift operator I worked for a couple of commercial masonry companies where we built schools and other buildings. I helped build Butler County jail. It can be one of the toughest jobs out there. it's just so labor intensive. although if you work for a commercial company things are actually a bit easier because they have tools and equipment that are often better than some of the small mom and pop Masons might have. When I first started out I did work for my friend and his father and we did cookie cutter brick homes and that was actually more tough than doing a large project in a commercial business. If you work for a commercial company often times they don't want you hurting yourself so we do things to prevent that. I love seeing these ladies laying brick it's fascinating to me right now it is something very rarely seen in the US. It's a shame....these ladies should be inspirational to all women. not saying that all women can do that job because all men can't do that job either but still inspirational

I love seeing this. I do welding in a very male dominant setting. Seeing other women getting out there and doing the thing is so awesome to see!

I'm doing my bricklaying work experience.. I'm not a girl but my favourite co-workers always are. From Canada but worked with a girl from Bolton who I always think about still. Bless ya!

From one Concrete Mason to another SUPER COOL BRICK LAYING MASON, Keep it up!

[CharlieCollison]

Love it. Good to see woman bricklaying👌🏼

[Jamfar]

Soo empowering. Soo novel. The courage of these women to do normal manual work.

Girls who know how to graft are one of the leads can always get along with one of them

I don’t know about Britain but in the states I’ve met several women electricians and laborers in the building and construction trades… there’s a big push to increase the number of women in the traditional trades

My dad is a stone mason, so a little different, but a lot of men can’t handle it. They work for a week, and never come back. It’s a tough job, so it’s awesome seeing women out there on job sites!

[kirac.]

This is freaking awesome!! Badass women.

[scottnever]

the problem is right there, hair extensions and make up. we are there to lay bricks not destract other workers. Who hasn't watched charle collision and found his misses distracting?
just saying, I dont work for the BBC

[johnmurdock]

I’m on civil construction projects and whenever I visit site it’s nothing like this. I find it very hard to believe this is the reality for people on housing projects, made for tv?

[tedspens]

Little to no actual brick laying through the whole video. Is that what it's like to have a woman on the job? Doesn't say much for equality. She wouldn't last a day on my jobs.

[stormhawk]

The most unlikely bricklayer but good on her.

[theboozycyclist]

Absolutely embarrassing this programme,
Been on a price as a Brickie for over 35years .
None of these would last 5 min on a price or 6” concrete blocks
They were celebrating the other day after laying 400 4” and there were 6 of them with two labourers.
Me and my mate do this every other day without a labourer 😂
Just wait till you hit 50
Every part of your body will crumble .
Nothing against ladies on site btw .
But these are all obviously on day work .

[truxton]

Filmed 11 months ago, I bet these women have stopped lying bricks by now, they never last long...

[bernardbrogan]

this is utter rubbish . nothing like real site or bricklayers

[PaddleDogC]

yeah till they hit 50 lb. block. tough trade.
