No, thats not me, I'm taking the photo, Mind you when i think back, working there was a bit like being in jail,ex con Paul?
The Lidl (or was it Aldi ?) offer, a few weeks back of leather gauntlets and a leather apron for £9.99 was ok.
We have to wear hi-viz proban (orange /reflective stripes)like railway workers but when cutting and welding,then chromed leather jackets ,gauntlets,etc ....no fun in this weather ,and our place has banned riggers(no ankle support,difficult to remove by paramedics).so its lace ups and spats now.hard hats ,specs at all times ,and have to have sleeves rolled down even when not welding,guess they're worried about being sued ,nightmare............
