You seem to have had a lot to say about certain firms and certain men just lately Teesside.Your quite wrong there
just one thing (i am not teeside scaffolder) to long in the tooth,, but in reality the pub culture does exist and your correct in what you say lots of men get jobs on merit quite right too,also there are guys who get foreman,supervisors jobs ,for being who they are,guys who have not been in the industry for very long but get promoted for all the wrong reasons , working on the complex you should no who i am talking about.and over the yrs on teeside that as been going on.
That happens all over the country not just Teeside.
Yes it does exist, but not for everyone.just one thing (i am not teeside scaffolder) to long in the tooth,, but in reality the pub culture does exist and your correct in what you say lots of men get jobs on merit quite right too,also there are guys who get foreman,supervisors jobs ,for being who they are,guys who have not been in the industry for very long but get promoted for all the wrong reasons , working on the complex you should no who i am talking about.and over the yrs on teeside that as been going on.

The past is a blessing because it is our teacher. The future is a blessing because it is our opportunity.
The Newcastle lads been on there for 15 years plus.you mean to tell me,thats theres scaffolders from newcastle sunderland working on there. i hope not. when there is local lads sat on the bru. please tell me this is a wind up.
Old stuff that.right lads. rainhams,palmers and capes all looking for men for the blast. fill your boots. all kicking of next week,fill your boots lads.
Thanks for being man enough to apologise Teesside.Seems like i have upset / offended some people on here, well I would like to apologize for all my past comments I have made.
I was only having a bit of crack and a joke, like scaffolders do.
Which seems to have been taken the wrong way by some people.
With regards to swale scaffolding I have never worked for them, and its only what my mates have told me about them, when there have worked for them in the past.
And that they would not work for them again.
And these lads are top scaffolders with years of experience.
With regards to the blast / complex, its sounds like it as changed for the best, I hope. And my pasted comments regarding this may have been to what went on in the past, with old isl /nsg/ capes/formscaff etc.
All the lads that I know that have worked on the complex use to say its not what you can do , but who you know [ supervisors and management ] and all of lads new this went on. I may of took the drink with, a bit to far.
Like you say, the reason that you are on your my 3rd stint is that you put up a decent job and do a fair days work for a fairs days pay.
And that’s how it should be.
And I know the complex is not the best job, but its better than some.
I know there’s lads on there from other areas[ Newcastle etc ] and they been on years.
But I hope that local Teesside lads in 2011 now get first chance of future employment on there.
And then the travelling lads next.
There are only 2 Geordie lads on there and they are spot on.in my opinion geordies have never been welcomed on a teeside industrial site. they close ranks and work the man out .its happened loads of times.
Old stuff that.
And very wrong !

I got the hump because you just seemed to be tarring over 100 men with the same brush which was not a fair thing to do.
Good job Mallon got re-elected or he might have ended up on there !
