Fair enough.
But dont you think that there is just as much arrogance with older Scaffolders, as there is with younger Scaffolders who 'apparently' think they know it all?


Ive heard the phrase: "Ive got boots older then you." and to be fair this means f.uck all to me, as anyone in 1979 or whatever can get a card via Grandfather Rights and STILL NOT know how to Scaffold correctly.

Its nothing to do with regulations, as there have been so many changes in the last 5 years alone - we all, old and new need to continuously adapt.

A good Scaff is,

a, When they say it can't be done....he does it

b, He's the guy who starts it and finishes it

c, When the gang are knackered, he go's the extra mile

d, Looks at the job, knows what to do and gets on with it, while the rest of the team are still scratching their balls

e, First in, last to leave

f, Great motivator and organizer

All the above comes with age and experience, have yet to come across a young buck who can motivate a team of men without pishing them off first.
 
I'm 23. At 40, you are no longer in your prime. You should get a job in ASDA or a forklift job maybe. At 40, you may aswell go and jump off a bridge.
