Tell ya what when was 18 in the yard there was an old boy he done 30 yrs on the firm,he was expecting a watch, clock or a nice drink as a wind up he had got a fancy box he's opened it up it was a 1.3 ledger(cup lock firm) as a show of appreciation........ His face ha ill never forget it lol , he did get a gold clock in the end
 
after 25 years you should get a good sugar frostie so you can feck something instead of getting fecked for a changs:eek:
 
Tell ya what tho can't see how ppl can stay at 1 firm for 25 years plus I've known one that's done 50-55 yrs on a firm vic jagger at sgb I was 19 when I met him he was 66 I bumped it to him few years after I left I'd love to see how he is now he would be 75!!! Fair play to him even when I worked with him he was fitter and stronger than me fair play to him

Must be the times I've chopped and changed for years (some by choice but most not) and now settled and love working where I am but 25 years.....

A few years back I worked for Abbey Scaffolding in Silvertown. The owner George Lowe (RIP) by way of a christmas treat gave to each of his staff a food hamper. In the late 90's these hampers cost over £100 each, at a time when Abbey was struggling to survive.
Ill never forget George, he was one of the last gentlemen in scaffolding I met.
 
Mitie Scaffolding Ltd of Stratford East London circa 1997-2006 (ended as Bow Scaffolding Ltd). Mitie Group are a big holding company with a bias toward the service sector that owned and built up Mitie scaffolding. Mike Bowkett started the company and ran it up to the time it went bust in 2006. I believe he personally lost a lot of money on the demise of Bow Scaffolding Ltd (southern). I think the Scottish part of the company is still trading.

Always ask. with me at over 40 years in scaffolding in the london/south east I have a lot of trivial knowledge (and some professional) and happy to pass it on if I know it is factual.
 
That's very nice of ya mate a few of the older gentlemen bark at ya if u ask em today nice one

Here's one for ya then only the other day I was trying to think of the proper name for it, but here we go..... Right when I was in sgb yard kings cross 10 years ago they had a museum piece in there (well that's what I called it lol) it's a huge beam think 35ft it looks like a unit beam with a pointed end it was use back in the 60/70s for truss outs temporary roofs (again I think) what were they called??? I only remember them be cause I couldn't pick one up and there was an old boy called John McGowan that was a legend because of his strength in the 70s that COULD!!!!!
