Addiction is a bit off the OP Topic but maybe a topic started in the private forum could help provide a safe space with no judgement or stigma. Links for help and talking about "a friend" often helps.

Ha, I doubt it. I just think subconsciously I know my life is too busy to waste time boozing. I was definitely a binge drinker in my younger days. But I could always say no so I wasn’t to concerned.Do you think that's your liver sending you a message?
I always said if it became a problem I’d stop but it never went that far

I stopped after a good session at a relatives wedding reception in 1980, still waiting to feel physically and mentally better

damp January ..
To get back to the subject! This is the best tv in a long time,can’t see enough of it ,though I’d like more on the engineering and management of the job.
It so highlights the problems and injustices in our society,so many earning way more than they can cope with ,yet one of them falls down drunk,who do they call.....a nurse/paramedics,requesting an ambulance,granted the odd knob will have their own private one ,maybe.

Just watched the second episode and was surprised to see they allow bosses, managers etc. to wonder round the site in shirtsleeves while everyone else has to wear hi-vis, hard hats etc.

So, I think I heard this correctly, the new loft extension is £100,000 a night.
I struggle to imagine what sort of human emotion I could derive after opening ones wallet for that.
Is it just me or do the front doors not annoy one?
Surely that semi circle should be in the catenary shape.

It depends where abouts in the project they are tbh the show doesn't give a bigger Enough picture of the site. Hi vis is only required around moving machinery, hard hats are only required with the risk of head contact with falling flying or moving objects. If the site is not live then at the time then their is no need to wear the ppe. It even says so in hse official guidance. Everyone done up in hard hat and hi vis has nothing to do with hse. It is the companies own policy. I'm sure I can't be the only person to have watched painters inside a finished house wearing hard hats due to company policy.
Ofcourse if the site is operational when they are down the hole then yes they should tow the line.

I suspect the type of person that stays there doesn't have a wallet they just get on of their lackeys to sort it out.
I liked the phone call asking a staff member to book a flight for 2 plus their dog to Monaco like a mere mortal would book a taxi

It was when they were craning in the new facade, the bosses were in the thick of it checking everything lined up OK

Good to see they had the bastion of greenwashing , the great Chris Martin 
playing the piano having a singsong in the new penthouse . I wonder if he knew the extent of use of concrete and the CO2 footprint of the job.
And as for that Remi geezer. Where does he get off talking to people like that. I’ve met a few like that in the past and I see others just letting them spout off and talk down to them because they don’t want to upset them and risk losing the job etc
I’ll tell them how it is, what I can achieve, and if they don’t like it , then good luck finding your rainbow unicorn mate

Spot on. He lost that one in the end though (and just made himself look like a complete tool in the process).And as for that Remi geezer. Where does he get off talking to people like that.

They delivered exactly what the guy doing the actual work said was achievable in the first place.
