You know what might actually help some of us work? A council-run trades service.

I need a weekly cleaner who will actually turn up. I need a plasterer without the ringing round trying to get quotes. I need a decorator without the searching and trying to get recommendations. I need someone I can call to change lightbulbs I can't safely reach and hook the curtain back on its rings.

I'd happily pay the going rate for the work if it got rid of the headaches.
