    Stay safe out there. Look to your maintenance and training records. Ensure you have a written lone worker policy. So far this year the industry toll is 18.

    Johnson signs up to the Daily Wail.

    The Wail has jumped into the swamp to attempt an heroic rescue of the stinking sinking fat clown. Along with the Moggster and Mad Nad and other cretins, the Mail and the Daily Express seem determined to back the biggest liar, buffoon and charlatan ever recorded in Prime Ministerial history. So...

    Veolia Basalt Spreading to capture carbon?

    Apparently, Veolia is looking to start spreading basalt to capture carbon - has anyone been contacted by them about this?? I'd guess mostly up in the north and Scotland as that is where all of the basalt is, but guess they would need farmers' land to do so like some of the other companies are...
