Spanner,
Nice one he will never live that day down it was so funny, we were at this shut down and Bouffont is a jack the lad Scaffolder, strongest, quickest and best scaffolder in South london back in the day.
We all turned up the first day and he said right lads you lot will be labouring and him and his mate will be in the boiler scaffolding we all said ok as long as we are getting our doe.
One of the lads went to get the drawing to see what we had to do the Bouffont took it away and said you dont need to see that youngen just get the gear unloaded.
Him and the other geezer started erecting and we got to about 2pm when the supervisor arrived on site to say "what the F--k is this ?" The Bouffont whats a matter ? Supervisor said cant you read a drawing youve based out the wrong way round the Bouffont then blamed the Drawing bloke for the next two days whilst we all took the piss out of him.
Still The Bouffont will always be the king of London Scaffolding !!!!
