They'd be moaning if they come home to find you impaled on one of their wrought iron fence posts.

What is it with that Scottish geezer putting vids up on youtube of him working up a ladder in the most dangerous conditions you could possibly imagine, another fella on here saying how they go out with their ladders and its fine.

With these guys when does it become dangerous?

When does their P/L Insurance stop applying?

At what point do they stop having any consideration for their customers property and safety let alone their own.

When do they go from professional to idiot?

Sorry, Im sure it offends some people but thats how I feel.

did a supermarket this last week out side a great pile of snow had come off the roof;
and i mean a lot made your head sore if it hit you. this had come off at midday so;
theres lots of different things to asses when going on about safety.
what im geting at is if your going out in this dont come over all pious about hs later on.

Any customer who doesn't understand that these conditions can be harzardous can take a running jump as far as I'm concerned.I'm not risking my neck for the sake of a tenner.Having said that,I'm going to do my best to get back in the groove next week,even if it's just tradding the bottoms.I'm starting to get cabin fever.
