The Bestest

Got me thinking about the best I've worked with over 30 years.

Kenny Paine (London) Longest arms in the world and a great laugh.

Del Tobin (Kent) Had the worst stammer ever but a great fixer.

Jimmy Harvey (London) Son of Eddie.

Paul Summerill (Bristol) Undoubtedly the hardest working, straight up, and honest bloke I have ever worked with. Hope that we might team up again for old times sake.

are you forgetting a lad called carrots ,:wondering mike or are you doing a bit of back slapping with me old mate paul? :embarrest:
 
Best scaffolders that I've worked with?

All old ones Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Ricardo How the devil are you?

Firstly a big Thank You for pulling me up about Carrots. You are indeed right. When it comes to honest hard graft then John is indeed up there with my list and certainly deserves to be so.
As for back slapping Paul, you're absolutely right I am. But he needs no back slapping from me. The guy is as I said in my post.
What are you upto at the moment?
