  4. It also has a feedback loop effect because the more you micromanage people's behaviour, the less they use their common sense and judgement and so the more rules they need to show them how to behave.

  13. I'm a complete Clutz and although I was paid to be an engineer I was more like an Egg in Ear sorta guy. Honestly the shit I did really really makes me cringe (and that was just last week)

    I'm with @finm though there are those that Walk the Walk and those that Talk the Talk and guess who usually get the promotions

    On the HSE I heartily agree with @990Glen . My (bad attitude) take on HSE if you need all the PPE all the time and legal protection to be safe on a site, then you shouldn't be on the bloody site in the first place

    I keep meaning to get a small font phrase onto the base of the number plate

    "If Ridden Well Report Stolen"

  14. As I’ve got older (and wiser:joy:) I’ve learnt that in certain situations acting a bit thick and stupid has got me further than making out I know it all (which of course I really do!):D

  18. Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
