[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6283850, member: 2119"] I am not a fool. I know what you are saying. There have been improvements that have safeguarded the workforce. I don't dispute that. But I maintain that if we worked to rule the system would grind to a halt. Some times a risk has to be taken. I have seen it done at the highest level. And it has paid off. I went to Iran. I flew on Russian aircraft that weren't really airworthy and traveled on buses with no brakes, no indicators and no lights. We were driven by drunk drivers and had many collisions. It was a calculated risk. Without such risks there would be no progress, no orders to keep the factories busy. We'd all be sitting at home saying we couldn't do it because of health and safety. We stayed in hotels that were regularly sprayed with bullets and ate from freezers that only worked for half the time but nothing was ever thrown away. And it gives you a buzz. I made it back alive. I took a risk and I made it back through bandits and dodgy transport. Faint heart never effed a pig as we say in Lincolnshire. [/QUOTE]
