Whoopee! all that and Scun-thorpe too. I lived just outside for about six months so you have my sympathies :lol:

Would make you cry some of these big sites you end up walking around looking like something out of a sci fi movie :34: surely by now you should be able to get some sort of general induction certificate for each builder (cscs) to cut down lengthy inductions etc its not so bad if your on a day rate, nothing worse when your on a price and just want to get going.

Sounds like a decent job bud apart from mr Smart Bum, must be a Joiner to trade :lol:

Sorry to say it but Gall is right about the £20.00 in the pocket, the only way to get our stuff to the floors at Canary Wharf in good time was pushing £20.00's into pockets. Welcome to the world of the Fork Lift Mafia, they control the sites. If you complain your materials will be sitting there all day, on all big jobs these days I put a bribe buffer in for these occurances, or we would never get anything up on the higher floors. Could be worse, you could be fighting with other trades for the hoist.

Loading hours...never....I wish!

Fast becoming a thing of the past loading hours, or a claimable labour budget setting hours. non existent on big jobs now. been about 2 yrs since I got washboy sponges or a grinder blade lol.

As you say ye need to sweeten these guys or you get nothing done!
