My advice to you is this...

Did* (upper-case d), advice*, mate... That* (space after last full stop, upper-case t), isn't (or are you actually referring to that "one ant" who is helping me?) and finally, you*. Maybe delete on of those full stops at the end, the one before the smiley, and perhaps replace it with a space before said smiley.

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.

Oh the irony, did you mean "on of those full stops" or one of those full stops.
 
Cliffo M8---get some spanner time in before you start offering up advise on committing harikari off a bridge ;)

Good Post Jas---being in my 40 th year in the game, and still getting a shout to go offshore I would concur with your sentiments...

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.

OBJECTION,not all us oldies got cards via Grandfather rights,I did the two weeks advanced down in London in 83.I like to think I have adapted to the new working practices,don't agree with them all.God knows how we erected jobs years ago.My opinion is there's some brilliant "older " scaffs and there are some who have always been crap.Same goes for younger men.Just does my head in when someone can get a card basically just because he's paid for it.
 
Hear jason you forgot to mention drinking a dozen pints of stella and smoking 30 tabs a day ha ha:nuts::D
