Wasn't Ray Chandler a London Scaffolder, who was a trainer at the CITB in Erith back in the early 2000's?
If its the same guy, he went on to become a Safety Inspector for TRAD Scaffolding... Not sure what happened to him though.


Darrly Venn from Stamford Le Hope was a fukking pukka Scaffolder, back in the day.
He taught me alot about Scaffolding.

Would that be the same Harry "The Mouse" Sheargold that used to be Branch Manager for SGB Bedfont in the 70's/80's? Had a team around him John Pollycot, Dave Higging, Billy Butix, Terry Barnes, Don Battley?
