Let me reach for my cheque book - NOT

[Andy78]

Joking apart a few years ago I did some volunteer work with the local fire service,the most bizarre thing I ever heard was when they banned the use of stepladders to fit smoke alarms! Now I've been on jobs where the lads have been on an ALP directing water jets into a burning building,smoke and flames all around them,yet they can,t climb a small pair of steps in someones hall to fit a smoke alarm!

I have worked in plenty of schools where the caretakers had been banned from changing lamps due to stepladders needing to be involved. Absolute lunacy.

Hi,

I see you get a certificate on completion, does that mean you can add it to your list of qualifications?

Regards.

 

[trev]

Of course, but if you did it would show you had no experience or proper quals.
Or no self respect.

I've got a roll of bog paper here, I can write you out as many 'certificates' that your heart desires!

Lets face facts, GCSE A*'s get handed out like confetti these days.....

So, the sight of me working right at the very full extent on a 14 rung A-Frame + extender (Zarges), with two feet only as I needed both hands in order to over-reach, whilst on uneven open ground, with a couple of hairy arsed riggers footing it.. that wouldn't be looked on favourably either?

Ahhhh, the summer festival season, nothing quite like it. Still feel safer up there than a fully extended tallescope on a stage.

Hypothetically speaking would a 12rung zarge at full extension in triple extension mode held vertical by 8 blokes with me climbing it be frowned upon too????

how about this then?

WTH is your problem? I was perfectly safe up that tree and so was the 1mm flex I used to feed those 20 halides all the way up the trunk.
For crying out loud what do you want?

Jesus, that is high, not for me I hate heights. lol

 

[Richard Burns]

No need to be afraid of heights, it is grounds that will kill you, not heights:smilewinkgrin:!

 

[Guest111]

Me too,seems daft a spark that doesn't like heights but sometimes you just have to grit your teeth.lol

 

[trev]

It's not the height or the fall that worries me. It's the sudden stop that scares the bejasus out of me.
