If I knew the answer to that I’d be in Tottenham right now paying off my mortgage!
Do you know how to use duct tape?
Not the pound shop stuff but the real thing - we don't want to piss off the building inspector again.
And no nails.

The warehouse I run has 6 loos for 180 workers.

I can still take a shit whenever I need to.

The working conditions are the worst I’ve seen in 22 years working in construction.
They must have paid off the health and safety as the wellfare facilities are not even close to legal


Come on dude. Let's not over cook it.

All work toilets run outta bog roll at some time.

Yeah because that what I meant.
You guys who have never worked on a building site would be shocked at conditions at most sites

How can you put a wire in wrong?
If they are blaming the workers, then the wire itself must have been of the right type. And the ducting too.
Were they nailing them up?
I guess they could have mistakenly tied the fire wires to big fat power cables in the trays.
As long as the power was off, the cabling would have passed the tests.
Turn the power on, and there would be too much noise to carry a signal.

It seems likely that fire cables would have their own tray. The separate tray would have already been installed and labelled I dare say. And unused.

And I guess all the cabling would now have to come out because it would be cut to a length. You don't want junctions as they would be points of weakness in a fire situation.

So I think the cable story is plausible, now I think a bit.

You know a fair bit about this if it is the case. To re-wire the whole thing how long could you see it taking?

Alas my dear friend was merely jesting.

Oh...and I've worked on plenty of building sites and totally agree with your poor conditions point.

Portaloo's are a definite no go area, I've jumped in the van many a time and gone to a local supermarket in order to use the toilets.

As for the food cabins. No, sooner eat in the van.

Meh, I don’t know what they are worrying about. At least they are getting paid to use those toilets.

Try going to a festival, we have to pay to hundreds for the luxury of using dodgy portaloos

Hee hee. I live 11 miles from Glastonbury. Used to have to do a few shifts in a mates food wagon in ezchange for very good ( access to alot of areas not allowed to the usual punter) day passes to the festival.


Good seat on the loo at home in the morning ( you catch my drift ) and then 1/2 hour trip to festival site. Luckily only ever needed a widdle.

Nice bath at home on return and back to it the next day. Free festival, nightime bath, poopies in the comfort of my own home all for a few shifts flipping burgers.

3 of us would share the driving so there was always the option of a couple of days partying burger flipping allowing.

Thats cheating, and not talking in the full festival experience. Doesn't count :)
