Sorry guys not been on for a bit, been really ill. What a great bank holiday weekend
Anyway....
I found it on a scaffold company's website, and the company clearly did not do that job, so in my humble opinion it is wrong to make out that the company can do jobs to that standard when it is beyond the capabilities of the entire workforce.
However, the website has clearly been done for the company, not by the company, and I know the guy and I am not someone who immediately will assume the worst in people so I will mention it to him next time I see him, see what his take is on it. Sorry the reality is a little less interesting than you hoped h:
I'm not so sure Flinty. It might be a totally different thing but I have seen a few adverts using the same "illustration purposes" thing. Check the phone book they all pretty much use the same pictures. We got an advert done once, might still have it. As I was so busy at the time I told them to just do what they thought best and their best was a daft wee drawing of men building a scaffold. Couldn't believe it when I saw it, no hand rails, partially boarded not even a brace. Nobody else could understand what the problem was and it was used loads of times in the same book.
As you say, speak to the man and your right, it's not as Machiavellian as first appeared.
