Do people actually brag about being a scaff?
Yep.
Simply because 1 out of a 100 blokes could do it imo
I wouldn't dare brag about being a scaff. Don't get me wrong I'm not ashamed of it and I quite enjoy my job most days. But bragging about it? Come off it. On most projects we are the hardest worked and amongst the lowest paid. No one wanted to be a scaff and almost everyone just fell in to it after not knowing what to do with themselves. Mind you, bragging on any level is cringe worthy, even if what you do is actually impressive. You just come off as a ****.
