ProPlant Scaffolding - Canary Wharf, Docklands, London: 2005.

Great money, lots of overtime and treated like tradesmen (for a change).
Worst mistake of my working life was to leave them

This thread has been on before...... and I have had quite a few Good Ones.....at different times and different places..........but I never did mention Saxon Scaffolding from Shaftesbury...(Golden Hill...Hovis advert?).....well, that is a really happy firm, Dougie Holland is a great bloke and all the boys drink Cider......I doubt if any of them come on here.......they are in the Pub ;)

I would never have left, but I had other commitments..........it really is a happy place :bigsmile:

Gen?
You know a bloke called Billy Cleary?
A Scouser, with a blonde 'Hulk Hogan' moustache and a big beer belly?


I worked with him a few times and he kept going on about SGB's in Jersey and how much of a good job it was.
