Ha!
ReplyDeleteIn Lagos I saw scaffolding of bamboo and it was secured with what looked like bootlaces. Many manhole covers had been nicked (to sell for scrap) and you had to know the roads well to avoid ripping wheels off, and possibly injury. No signs, no warnings, no HS&E guys crowding around with clip-boards and their tut-tuts.

If Lord Young’s report succeeds in bringing an end to the caution that is paralysing public services and strangling individual initiative, it will have achieved an enormously important change. With the exception of those over‑zealous, interfering officials – who will no doubt do all they can to frustrate its implementation"

The same thing applies to electrical installations. Us "Good Europeans" have ever stricter regulations, despite the fact that our systems were already very safe. Yet look through the freebie trade magazines and you will regularly see pictures of horrifically bad wiring taken by Brit engineers on holiday...
ReplyDeleteAnd regarding CR's comments about scaffolding, I visited Singapore in 1988 en-route to 'Oz. There is a very large telecoms towers on the island, and it was surrounded from top to bottom with bamboo scaffolding! And this thing was 3-400ft high...
