yep,i thought mine was a bad copy on the sound,it must be the original film.:D
 
Brought a tear to my eye!You should make this compulsory viewing for trainees,they'd all jack if they had to work like that.Funny thing is the gaffer considered his men to be safety minded!Just shows how far things have progressed,still think I was lucky enough to scaffold when men where men!!Imagine some of the new "superscaffs " stripping that cantilever,no boards,no harness,no chance!!!
 
Your right there no youngens would work like that now.
They wouldnt be able to strip it with them feckin drills either!

Quote from Albert Einstien, No he is not a scaff working for ACME scaffold co.

“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”

“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death”

“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

“If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?”

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

Some Boy wor Albert, more to come, if this is not suffice......;)

A agree mate...

That one stupid video knocked Scaffolding back about 20 years in peoples eyes.
Shame really. They could have made a decent video showing what scaffolding is REALLY like, instead of that Bruce bloke and his 2-bob firm.
 
bruce and his 2 bob firm are still about tho , been pricing a few jobs up against them lately for ark build
 
I wonder how many new scaffolders would not bother with part ones if that was how it still was,I remember this film being on telly when I first started,
The days of having fitting thrown at ya cuz they didn't work,beasted into working hard treated like **** till you could hemp a six foot scarf 200 ft up a tower block was crap at the time but certainly made me a better scaffolder than most that come on site with advanced cards ssmsts csrd and no respect for blokes who were scaffolding when they were still having there arse's wiped

Andy its the way things where in the 80s in London , street work was always about lumping it up as quick as you could and earning your money and getting down the pub , not always in that order , i always found Bruce Welfare sound to work for and never had any problems with the man.
 
yeah i agree , i started in 92 and was lucky to catch the end of that era worked with some good hardcore scaffs . i know bruce me self top gezzer
 
That was just the way it was Bang Crash all the lads grafting and see who was in the pub first.great times,i have a tear in my eye.
 
Boss

the man is a ring piece i cant believe Boss is still about a typical back street east london bandit firm
