It's only the usual excuse.

1. Phone call to chase you up....Oh yes, we've made it, it's at the galvanisers, i'll give them a ring as soon as i've finished speaking to you... never to be heard from again.

2. Upon ringing again...... Oh yes mate, i've rung the galvanisers - they've galved them but they have been lost.

3. After third phone call..... Oh yes, they've dropped them/it in the tank. They are draining it a week next September. We'll get them then.

4. Fourth call....Er right, they've got them we will be round with it soon........ Hushed conversation with workshop manager - you'd better get that so-and-so made, we have no more excuses left!

Been there and got the T-shirt paul. did some railings a while ago. I was so push to get various bits done they got left and left, each time the guy phone, answer was they are at the galavanisers. eventually i phoned the galvanisers on a friday arranged for monday pick up, by sunday i started them got everything cut up. Monday morning i was making them, i know the galv guy turns up to me about midday, he was spot on time at 12, had to ask him to wait 15mins, by 12.15 it was all finished. Away they went, tuesday arfternoon phonecall from galvers say we will drop them back tommorrow. I used the galavnisers as an excuse for about 4 weeks

5...... We've made them, had them galved, but they got the tags mixed up so have sent your structural steel to Farawayplace, and we have some bikestands instead. Any good?

So why Holland Hitch?

Its also a scientifically known fact that better results can be obtained if all Galvanising is done in a Windmill, whilst wearing clogs, eating Edam, watching red hot dutch, covered in Tulips.

the lower and the attitude the the better the results due to atmospheric pressure and gravity

could be for spun galvanising, i know medway galv can only do smaller things for spun galvanising, not sure about other UK galvers (matts comment about windmill made me think about spun galv)
