It's all very safe, but two things put you off a bit.
1) There's a "WARNING! You are about to die." sticker on every part of it.
2) The fcuker sways about like Kate Bush on top of the pops when it's at 12 metres.

My insurance only covers me to 15 metres, so a 12 metre platform is as high as I'll be going.
It's always worth checking the details on your policy so that you can stay within the terms. That's why even though I'm in a basket and not reaching out I still wear a harness attached to the picker with a fall arrest lanyard. HSE, the council, some nosey neighbour, a random taking a picture and posting it on facebook or twitter could all see you working and if you're not A1 with H&S you're in trouble.

I hope that doesn't happen with this one. @Nisus would p1ss himself laughing, take a few photo's then either go to the cafe, or go home.

There's a bloody good deli just round the corner. One of the benefits of working in an upmarket area. They're spending hundreds of millions on that part of Birmingham.
It's a good area to crack too. There are six four storey town houses in the row, and they all want the same work doing. The customer asked me today if it'd be OK to pass on my details as the neighbours had asked. I said he shoud maybe wait until we've finished.
He's a nice bloke, keeps asking if I want the next stage payment yet.

Funny enough I did my 3a&3b today. Hope you are wearing that posh trousers. The damage the normal harness can do ......oh, the picture is still in my head
I've got the type that goes under your 4rse and round your thighs. I didn't fancy the one that sat snugly under my love spuds.
Rather than have it tested/inspected I just buy a new one each year for £70:00 inc fall arrest lanyard and get the nice new cert that comes with it. I don't need one that often, but it's handy and looks good when you get a visit from the council, FMB inspection or whatever. Especially when combined with my rather fetching day-glo orange romper suit. Fighting the women off with a stick I am.
That reminds me, better check the date on the hard hat. There's always some nonsense.

Town houses with roof terraces.
They bought it new two years ago for £320k, valued at £370k now. Earning £25k a year without lifting a finger isn't bad, and they're expecting a 25-30% increase when Curzon Street is finished for HS2. Then more again when the city centre development kicks in.
Property's where it's at if you want to make a lot of money gents.

I remember a company I did work for hired two cherry pickers ones on back of a truck,first problem was it was a dog leg gear box second problem was you had to try stabilise it before using which is an art in itself third problem is pedals are too close together I was at Blackwall tunnel and tried stopping and couldn't and hit someone up the Arse lucky for me no damage and they couldn't speak a word of English to try swap detailsI remember getting a cherry picker stuck and the hire company came out and the could not get it unstuck and had to get a crane in

If we're honest, all moments in the air are hairy. 'It ain't natural I tells yer!'
