Dangerous Practices

It would have been nice to read my subscription copies of MEWS No 168  and ME No 4386. But they just have not arrived. I suppose that there was a shortage on the print run so the weird (minimal) foreign subscribers were forgotten. Or my subscription has run out and no one has sent me a reminder. But I pay by direct debit so how can that be? Mr Editor there may be another reason which I will E-mail you about. This is not the place for it.

As to the problems of safety, a ‘Gnome from the local city’s Elfin Safety’ forbad me to use a hand held graver on my lathe –it was a 6mm Lorch- my reply was “how the h*** did you get in here?” It replied (I could not be sure of its gender) I saw your light in this shed so I came to see what you were doing.  Oh it added “You will have to re-hang your gate I took it off its hinges as it was locked. I have the right to go anywhere”.  My reply was in Russian well it ended with ‘off’ followed by a call for ‘Ole Alligator chops’ –an old large black mongrel with a set of snappers that would turn a crocodile green with envy.  I duly received a visit next day from the rozzers and cautioned about the matter.  The idea of trespass went un heeded..

The problem is the idea for the need for absolute safety. Our local Managers (whose job it is to manage the people) must NEVER allow the word ‘Blame’ to appear on their CVs. and they will ignore the rules and laws to to make certain it never happens

When we were children if we hurt ourselves we got a clip from our dads and soon learned to use a longer ‘pokey stick’. 

Mr Crewmech we are not running at ‘production speeds’.  What is wrong?
