Hi guys.

I have a little game for everyone*.
Its funny and will give us all a chance to give a little back. ;)

All you have to do is 'fill in the blanks' to: "When i was on the tools..."


"When i was on the tools ______________?" ---> add word/s here. :)


Have fun.
*Thanks to this thread for the inspiration.
 
When I was on the tools..................

I remember the day I erected 400ft x 5 lifts high fully boarded single handed.
I had to keep ringing the gaffer to find out where the next wagon full of gear was. He kicked off because I put in for standing time.

All that and I was still in the boozer by 3pm.

The young'uns these days don't know they're born

:D

Just checked there mate, you're right. It was single handrails.

But I forgot that it was buttressed, fully sheeted and it was blowing 90mph gusts and it was snowing

When I we're on the tools we dint need no harness malarky. We used to walk the steel in our hobnailed boots & just a spanner in our back pockets cos we knew what we were on with. In fact they used to use my ledgers for making spirit levels. :)

Up, windows cleaned & back on the trailer by dinner or don't bother turning up. Lol.
 
When I was on the tools the only H&S advice was look out for yourself when you are up there!
