I got onto the council yesterday to complain about the flaw in their alley
gate system,apparently you can get a screwdriver inbetween the frame and the loc and get passed the locking mechanism. The lock area has a v shaped elongated cutout and needs a plate weld over this area. This morning I went down to have a look at what they were proposing to do,they said they have done it ie pop riveted a small plate over the area with only two rivets. doh! where do the council train their monkeys? If I hadn't of been there they would have left it like that,I got him to weld it and you know what? he did with a couple of spot welds in the wrong area for strenghtening. doh! where do the council train their monkeys? |

At least you've got alleygates. We'd love some. At least it'd give the yobs a different challenge. -- http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk |

That's the problem with employing monkeys rather than alleygaters. If you complain, they'll only shed crocodile tears. g -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..
