So I took a day off work and went to the pub.

The sun on your back and a pint in your hand and with good company.



no apprentices, then?


No. But I had one on Saturday when we did the IPAF course.

It snowed when we did the practical test that was outdoors.


So, I looked up IFAP, and found that it referred to MEWPs, so I looked
up MEWPs ....


It is an annoying term - what was wrong with the much more descriptive
Cherry Picker and Scissor Lift?

I remember my father encouraging me to look up a word in the dictionary
when I was quite small. So, I looked it up, and there were three words
in the definition that I didn't understand. So, he told me to look those
up, too.Â* We both learnt a lesson, that day, in the power of exponential
growth.


Try Engineering specifications that reference 20-odd Standards and Codes
of Practice, that reference a dozen or more each and so on!
