What’s THAT from?

Construction work ads

British slang I guess.

American slang too: (1) no place to live: I’m a free spirit — I have no girl and no digs. (2) don’t make criticizing remarks: I just got my hair cut and I hate how it looks. No digs when you see me! (3) (in construction) no digging involved: Demolition and renovation workers needed — no digs.

So what does it mean here?

Is it like somebody not from around some certain area?

I think it’s the punctuation that fucked you up. It should be “Only local lads. No digs.”

Meaning that there is nowhere to stay?

No, Eugene, look at meaning (3)

Hm.. see no logic. Never mind, fuck it. But thanks for explanation 👍

The logic is that if you’re a skilled construction worker, you won’t be willing do dig trenches at a construction site for the wiring, plumbing, etc. This is an assurance that there won’t be any digging involved.

Ok I see, too bad I can’t find this ad now…
