On a recent trip to India, I noticed on construction sites
the Labourers (Most of them were usually Women!)
carried loads on their heads, in buckets or baskets.
One Lady works at an ornamental garden and
spends all day watering the plants from a bucket
she balances on her head.
Another Lady, a fruit vendor on the beach
also carries her wares on her head
Thinking back,
I remember seeing this in England in the 1960'sThey would climb ladders and traverse the roof
with both hands free; their load safely balanced
on a rubber ring that was wrapped in rags and placed
on top of their head
I cannot recall seeing one incidence of this in the UK
in the last 40 years or so.
(You can see a similar contraption on our fruit vendor's head)
(If you have evidence of this practice still in daily use
anywhere in the "Western world" I will be very
grateful to see the evidence)
That would also be about the time when the
Health and Safety Legislation first hit the UK
Is this a coincidence or is another example of the
bureaucrats killing of an ancient skill, whilst they
pursue their dream of wrapping in cotton wool
everyone who works anywhere outside of a bank?
We frequently post about Health and Safety matters
on our main website: Mayfield-Roofing.co.uk
Thinking back to the guys with the tiles balanced on
their heads; the other trick they used to do, was
instead of climbing down the rungs of ladders,
they would slide down the ladder, gripping the
outside of it with their gloves and boots

If you are anything like me, you are probably sick to your back teeth
with all of all the signs outside Pubs and restaurants reminding
you to book your Christmas Party with them!
These signs appear about mid August and stay on show until
they are replaced with the "Book Your Easter Party" with us signs
that appear about mid January.
Rather than book a lunch in three months time, I am someone
who lives in the hear and now and would rather concentrate on
today's lunch and let tomorrow take care of it'self!
However, the here and now is fine where lunch is concerned
but when it comes to TAX, that is a different ball game.
Take Notice; On January 1st 2011 The Rate of VAT in the UK
Will Increase from 17½% to 20%
Only 2½% you think, no big deal!
OK if you are a tax collector but not OK if you want you house repaired
Let us suppose you are contemplating house repairs or improvements
that could cost about £5,000.00
If you wait until "After The Christmas Party" to do the work
You will have to pay an extra £125.00 VAT
Just small change for the likes of David Cameron or Gordon Brown
but the Cost Of The Christmas Party for the rest of us
You get no benefit for this extra money, it is just extra TAX
If you are contemplating house repairs, DO IT NOW
Don't wait for the Tax Increases

When bats and breathable roofing membranes come together,
anecdotal evidence suggests it may not end well for either party.
