Treat all with respect regardless of race or religion. I generally find that if you support the lads then you get some return from them. Of course there are bad apples on both sides of the divide and always will be. I probably haven't mentioned on the forum that I worked in Australia before but as the project reached completion and redundancies were due the lads made a board and everyone's name was written on it as they were let go. When I was made redundant the lads put me on the board as well. Someone told me that it was extremely rare for that to happen due to the big gulf between management and worker down under. It is my proudest moment in scaffolding and I have a photo of the "tap out" board.
Its a beautiful moment.
Mine was when i found a Scaffolding card under the back seat on a bus and changed my name from Mohammed Akbar Sulliumen to Jason Gibbs, so i could quit my old job selling Rubber Gloves door-to-door and pretend to be a Scaffolder.
