Matakana Scaffolding in Canada?

[HighBarnet1957]

Hello all, new bloke here and all of that, what the story on Matakana Scaffolding in Canada?

 

[Jason-Gibbs]

Plenty of threads about them here.
I believe they are like marmite.
Some love working for them, some hate it.

Seem to be a prominent Canadian Firm whom regularly employ British Scaffolders.
Other then that, i dont know much else.

Plenty here who can offer more opinions though.

VLLB is the man in the know.

[HighBarnet1957]

Welcome to the forum high barnet more Londoners the better

Secondly how long have u worked in Canada?? I've mentioned on here before that I would love to try a hand abroad only for a year max and Canada always springs to mind. Prob a daft question but financially and lifestyle are you better off over there than London?

I'm 28 now but would love to have an adventure abroad by the time I'm 35ish just gathering experiences to make a decesion as to where. Cheers bobby

You could always contact a forum member called cassie. He hasn't been on for a while so he may have forgotten his password again. He is out in Canada earning a fortune. If you can't get the info from him he has some rather nice heavy duty belts for sale.

Well the fact that we are not allowed to discuss them on here after they threatened legal action should be about all you need to know pal. Oh and yes i've worked for them.

I am no expert on lakes but my favourite is Lake Baikal which is the 7th largest lake in the world and possibly the oldest. Interestingly enough it contains 20% of the world's unfrozen surface fresh water.
Sometimes when I sit here in this lakeless and riverless land I wish someone would start a lake association thread.

 

[happyhugenoet]

Just a guess but is it Rikki Lake she must be a fair size nowadays
still give her the podger though

 

[HighBarnet1957]

Anyone actually know what a bleeding lake or again someone who apparently likes lakes has got anything to do with the original bleeding question?
