Just spotted a couple of guys, with a signed up Transit, doing some
pointing on a semi gable end wall, type where the wall continues up to
the roof apex and pointing right up to the apex. Two double extension
ladders leaning against the wall, with metal brackets at the top, so as
to support a walk board level. The walk board like an alloy ladder, but
filled by a board. A third double extension to climb up to working
level on.


No safety ropes, no kick boards nothing and there they were pointing at
the apex down. It made me cringe to just watch them.


That will give the Brexiteers hope. Once we leave the EU and get rid of
all that silly H&S legislation, such things will be the norm.


Its one of the few freedoms they really hope for, the ability to kill
others without breaking the silly EU rules.

Shame that the EU doesn't make the rules.
Its more down to insurance companies these days.
