Hi Scaffs, bigbadbob here, still finding my way round this site, so i want to put you guys in the picture and once again tell all a little bit of who i am and a little bit of history.

bigbadbob,

I have been out the loop for far too long myself to offer any advise, but regardless of what role you are after it's gonna be a struggle at the moment. Things have changed hear even in the last 2 years never mind 25.

That said, don't let the head go down just yet and good luck with the search, experience like yours will still count for something.

Bob, when I was doing my CISRS supervisors course at safety and access in nottingham, they were looking for scaffold inspectors and teachers, that was in December of last year. XXianXX on this forum may be able to help as I think he does this very job. Otherwise contacy Safety and Access Nottingham ,Rick Statham, he could probably point you in the right direction.
Good luck mate.

That said theres always the chance they may want someone freelance depending on where you are in the country. Other than that you could try simian risk they are in the same game as us.

A bit like being on the tools, erect and dismantle, guess thats why i like so many of you guys, love this game, aleays a new challenge.
Thanks again all and have a great day.

You struggle to import now, the Italians get paid for scrapping them now as they are 2 stroke. I spend all my spare time tuning them up then blowing them up then fixing them up ,and so on and so on. Missus loves it not.
 
ha to long in management then bob
