Minhosa Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Down in London i paid £625 for the day for a 30 meter plus MEWP mounted on a flatbed lorry with an operator. And that was via a contractor who add their uplift on top of the hire firms cost. 2.5k not buying it. Yeah I’m in London and I hire them a couple of times per month for work. Never paid more than £600. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 The windows don’t get washed once a year, the same grime streaks has been there for years. The mound and leaks in the toilets have been present for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Wouldn't you just buy a cherry picker if you had to use one all the time and then train the stadium staff? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Also love the way it's worded that Eddie Rutherford was brought in by SBR to "build" the training ground. All I can think of is a one-man operation, him stood with a blueprint, looking at the completed project in the way Homer Simpson held up the box before looking at his barbecue pit.

The didn't even 'build' the training ground - it is a converted former civil service sports club house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Reads like the Chron has done a bit of a PR piece for the club. However, supporters can see through the lies now - St James is run down and in need of far more than a lick of paint! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 "Just tell us" is absolute bullshit, don't even know why the staff would want to be involved with this line. It should be a matter of routine for everything to be constantly monitored, maintained and improved. Just need to keep the pictures coming I suppose, at least it's in the media now. Also the Sports Direct association makes everything look cheaper and more tacky than it really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, you prevent things becoming issues by maintenance etc. I suspect the only maintenance done is when it's safety involved and even then we had the farcical of the screen swinging in the wind when that was put up.

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I've been at the business school at uni over the past 7-8 months and I haven't yet seen anyone cleaning those windows from the outside. Either they do it at night or it's done by inspector gadget. You seen anyone Kid Icarus[/member] ? Just seen this now neesy111[/member] . I'm not at the Business School anymore, so I'm not sure.

Absolutely its called preventative maintenance in my line of work its an absolute vital component. You'd think a sports stadium would operate the same way because ultimately it reduces your yearly maintenance costs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
