Clocks go forward one hour tonight!

all anecdotal rubbish as usual! How many outside workers have floodlights and, to repeat, where's your stats to support your argument?

But its you who went out to test the air for a water company...? A chemist tested the air? BT workers had their own sniffers when lifting a manhole...? A chemist, on their wages, went and sniffed the air for H2S and methane etc when a tech can do it with a handheld and probe? Mmm, seriously?

I can assure you that I did, although that was back in the 1970's and 80's. Nowadays they have pretty reliable portable electronic testers to do the same thing, :)
 
For two people who seem to not care you haven't half posted a lot on this thread and that's just a selection of your posts and not them all......

Do we all really have to be subjected to you two trying to outpost each other on every thread?

In these supposed 24/7 times don't folk just get on with it irrespective of what the clock says...


And, if not why not...

I get properly fed up with overnight road closures delaying my journey home after a shift...
What is a 'normal' day these days?

And I was with BT in the 70's and 80's and I can assure you BT didn't waste money getting a chemist out before we lifted a manhole cover. We used portable devices back then with extendable probes. Funnily enough, we didn't have accidents with that either...

And you single me out because I posted some pictures ?

Just like your other broken record subjects - its not going to change - accept it - move on.

Your first picture is of a broken record which, correct me if I'm wrong, implies you've heard it all before and it's getting very boring and your not interested in "listening" anymore

Yet you then proceed to post another 5 times at least, all saying variants of "who cares"


If you really don't care about a subject that there is a thread on why post at all and even more so why post numerous times all saying the same thing?

And you wonder why I singled you out?

Really?

I think that sewers and things like sludge digesters are an order of magnitude more dangerous than holes in the ground for cables. I routinely used to test for methane, oxygen content, hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. At the time the gangs just carried a modified Davy lamp and a piece of moistened lead acetate paper to detect H2S.

The only thing we didn't check for was CO. We also had a canary...he was dead hard
 
Love this thread as it lets me do my semi annual joke about Del being into flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality

He just loves flogging this dead horse. :rofl:

This joke will make a welcome return in October 2016

Surely it can used on other threads :D
 
Atmosphere testing was only a small part of the work I did, and only in the early part of my career
Brilliant, you're just like the straight man in a comedy show.😃
