Is that why your avatar is a tank Best ?
Just had to check this wasn't in an open forum.
You know for some time it's been worrying me that many of the people who enter a trade do so simply because they are deemed 'unfit' by the establishment for anything else. Unlike the rest of the world, trades in the UK are still treated by many as, well, low life. I cannot tell you how many times I've simply goy back in the car and driven away cos I've been asked to use the back entrance.
Of course it doesn't apply to all, but we all get tarred with teh same brush and it translates to us being referred to as essentialy thick. I feel Best is quite correct in his assertion that many who suffer from or with 'issues' of one description or another will become tradespeople and their actions end up being jumped upon by media as defining us all.
Upon further reflection, this is why forums such as this one are so important in rebuilding the continually eroding reputation of us trades people. Thinking that through a bit more, I now understand why I take so much care and can be so seemingly long winded (Town!!). By demonstrating your thought process hopefully people who come on here will see that between OUR ears lurks a bl00dy sight more than empty space.
You scroaty bunch of reprobates make me feel proud to be in this industry and should be proud of the way you conduct yourselves. Bl00dy punters will never say that
