Reaching 50, or getting lathered?

Reaching 50, or getting lathered?

Reaching it 50. Health, wealth and happiness have all gone rapidly downhill since.

Sad isn't it. As you get older and look to alcohol as a crutch to numb your problems, your tolerance for it has gone down. 3 pints of session beer, circa 4% is about my limit now.

That photo would make a good candidate for a 'spot the contraventions' safety poster .

Seriously though. I don't know how true it is but I was told in a training session that a large proportion of HSE involvemnt with scaffolders come from random public sending in photos. Gotta be very careful what you do and who can see it now because everyone's not only a reporter but a safety officer too.

What can't be seen in the photo is that the four doubled up wooden planks going from the tower to the bank are screwed to the scaffold plank with a stake driven into the ground on the other end. The long plank is also secured at both ends. We were using a hydraulic driver to sink old scaffold pipes for shuttering to hold back erosion of the excavation.

I'm presuming these lads had just realised they need kickboards and had folded the outriggers in whilst they went to look for them...
