1 disconecting the heater in the wagon in winter,to keep you working.
2 keep telling you on friday afternoon the gears on its way.
3 always dissapear on payday just as you get back to yard.
4 We had to go in low to get this job lads,not much money on it.
5 Don't worry it'll only take a couple of hours to throw up that 10 lift fully boarded tower
6 The other lads wanted that job,but I saved it for you cus I know you like heights.
7 Its identical to the other block only its twice as big,a bit higher and there are a couple of in and outs ,other wise its identical.
8 Don't worry they aren't big dogs !
9 If you can get 9 tonnes on that 3.5 tonne lorry it will save you a trip,but don't get caught.
10 Well if your not confident enough to build that ,I could ask old Jim to stop painting the fittings and do it (that always works)
11 Listen lads, I want a rolls royce job on this,but your only getting bicycle money.
12 No lads don't worry about that bit, these designs are purely a guide only,besides we have run out of beams.
13 When we did this job last Christmas the other gang did it in 2 days,how long do you think it will take you then ???
14 No lads I can't send you there it wouldn't be fair, there's no money on the job and those bloody nurses will try it on with anyone in trousers.
15 Listen lads this is our best customer ,they have said if we can do this job cheap enough we can have the rest of the blocks, we're all depending on you what with Chrismas coming up !
16 If I give you double time the unions will crucify me ,you know that, its "union law" single shift only on this site on Sundays.
17 lads what can I say ,you win some you loose some, now get going you losers the price is crap without you hanging about here moaning.
18 This Range rover's not mine, the company owns it,its suprisingly cheap to run actualy.
19 Sorry lads the insurance won't allow scaffolders to drive the company cars,if it was mine you could borrow it,honestly.
20 Ok boys, who wants to work late to help me out ........................................
21 Stop moaning I pay you to do a good job,I didn't see the bush it was winter when I priced it up ,perhaps its grown that big in 2 months.
22 Yea but if you get them both finished and handed over you'll earn a days money,don't be scared of the dark you girl.
23 Its only a drop of rain,what are you made of sugar you lightweight !
24 You could't get up speed if you fell off that scaffold
25 Opinions are divided on that one ,I say you don't need to,but the HSE clowns reckon you do !so best tie it in Im fed up with those do gooders badgering me.
26 No your wrong ,it clearly states in bs59tg20:08 and I quote "It is the scaffolders job to finish all unfinished scaffolds whatever time of day or night,or they could face a big fine and may be banished from England" so there it is lads,I don't make the rules its all in here in good old BS59TG20:08,just following instructions.
27 Look if I wasn't taking the clients out to the races I would help,but bank holidays are a nightmare,If it makes you feel better Im sort of working,least your getting paid I'm not.
28 You suprise me ! I thought you could reach it in 5 lifts.
29 Ok fair enough,seeing as you worked until 7.00 pm tonight you can go at 3.00 on Saturday for the shift,I know its good of me ,just keep it yourself will ya I don't want to be accused of favouring you lads.
30 Its not Rocket surgery boys, last time I did one it was for SGB back in 72,me and old Jim did it, no harnesses in them days or handrails Jim was younger as well !
31 Good I'm glad your finished,can you just nip over to help the other lads..............,76 miles you say,I thought it was closer than that.
32 Of course in the good old days you could get away with that, now of course there are toilets on sites.
33 In an Ideal world you could come up to the office ,pull up a chair,sit down and we could discuss your payrise. The worlds far from ideal though is it.
34 You don't know your born lads, when I started there were no alloy beams it was all steel, you have it easy,you should be paying me !
35 Look ,don't let a bit of health and safety ruin an easy job,its only dangerous if you fall off lads.
36 Those doubles are £5.00 each lads ,you wouldn't walk past £5.00 if you saw it on the floor would you ?
37 Its just a new lorry lads, I'm giving it to that gang because they've worked the hardest ,a kind of reward if you will.
38 Thats not true lads, they don't get all the cream ,now stop calling Daves gang the "Blue tits" and get back to work ,those towers in the sewage tanks aren't gonna build them selves are they, when you finish pop round and help Daves gang get the long up for that second lift on the Nurses home.
