After 50 years’ unbroken employment in the construction industry I was made redundant in July. I’ve been catching up on some ΠΤ°Ι΅ηΜ¨ back numbers before savouring the luxury of going back to bed for an hour or so before breakfast

And so to health and safety. Yes you should keep the pictures coming – better still make them into a calendar so that every week we can be reminded of some of the crazy things people get up to if they are not properly looked after. Designers, too, have a great deal to answer for: β€œIf you put a parapet around this roof it will save – for ever – the problems of safe access to it”. β€œI can’t do that, the planners won’t let me, blah, blah”. Surely the scissors of CDM regulations can cut to shreds the planners’ paperwork? Crikey, it’s 7.30, I must get back to bed ...
