Lichtie78 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 You seemingly need some form of licence to play the radio if the public will be able to hear Yeah you do. My mum used to own a barbers and I remember her saying she was about £150 a year to have the radio on in her shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Neither do Robertsons. Last site I was on was relaxed as f**k, to the point where you could walk about in your trainers with no hard hat and hi-vis so it's been a bit of a change coming onto a McAlpine site. It's bloody annoying - some people at work I have seen with earphones in which is just not going to work and is unsafe but a site radio can make the day so much easier and is hardly hazardous.I hate having to wear thick trousers at work which is a policy on some sites I've worked on, much prefer trackies particularly in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) I have no idea how pervasive these kinds of things are across the North Sea but I instantly lose respect for people that have crap like this in their homes. And trust me, there's a lot of people over here who think this is an acceptable form of interior decoration; Spoiler Why why why why why would you stencil crap like this on your walls? The Love/Live/Laugh one is the worst of the bunch, I cringe every time I see it. Also this pish; Spoiler Do people really need reminders of where they are in the form of big wooden letters? If I was a tree and got cut down to be pulped into this crap I'd be fuming. Edited March 6, 2017 by DutchBorderer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nip over tomorrow and see if you can find any of Aaron Lennox's teeth, I'll see if I can clone a goal keeper from the DNA before Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Smelly people. I'm not talking about fresh BO as a result of exercise. I'm talking that fusty never washed in years smell. Dirty stinking clatty b*****ds. There's absolutely no excuse to smell like that. You can get shower gel as cheap as £1. Even cheaper for a bar of soap. These inconsiderate arseholes (quite literally) seriously boil my piss. Maybe the smell isnt them, maybe it's the saucepan of your urine boiling on the hob? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps an Olympic qualifier? The World Championships? Are you an athlete in training? Do you expect to suddenly run the 1500m in a record time? No? Then why the f**k would you be wearing sports clothing on a building site? It's a place of work so you wear work clothes. You're there to work not to lounge around listening to your latest choons on the wireless and enjoying yourself. Work man, work. Drag yourself out of your Adidas-clad gutter and aspire through the sanctifying cleansing that is honest graft. grumble grumble grumble kids today mutter grumble -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the contracts I write specifically say no radios or mobile phones are to be used for a reason. What's the reason for no radio, grandad? Can adults not be trusted to listen to music without falling off scaffolding? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 What's the reason for no radio, grandad? Can adults not be trusted to listen to music without falling off scaffolding? They can't be trusted to hear someone shouting 'watch for the daft p***k falling off the scaffolding onto you' when skipping past the bottom of the scaffolding to the latest Little Mix tooooooon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 What's the reason for no radio, grandad? Can adults not be trusted to listen to music without falling off scaffolding? Pretty much. If you're listening to music you're not fully concentrating on what you're doing. It depends on the site, one man on his own fitting a door is fine, but more than one person on a busier site it's then a hazard of you're not fully aware of your surroundings at all times. I've never walked into site and made people turn the radios off, but HSE can quite easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never walked into site and made people turn the radios off, but HSE can quite easily. My journeyman used to have a miniature radio that we'd use when we were doing basic interior jobs like skirting or facings, got turned off instantly when we were doing anything larger. The painters used to play music from their phones, caused a bit of a scene when one from Glasgow forgot he had the sash on his playlist and the Celtic fan on site overheard it. After that only radios were allowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
