Health and Safety Nightmares

Tremendous. There is a new department moving into the ground floor of our building, and there is currently the biggest removal lorry I have ever seen outside. It's got two wheels up on the pavement, so is at a slight angle, and the men are carrying the furniture out down a ramp that appears to be made of soggy hinged plywood. This is resting on a thin and apparently unattached metal bracket, which is in turn braced on a bit of wood on the pavement, and some sort of plastic covered package in the road. At different heights. And the bit of wood appears to have nails sticking up out of it.

*drinks tea, watches from top floor with interest*

I've added a picture. Because they've foolishly left me alone in the office with a camera.

see that? that's your house that is...

Oh my goodness.

I would *love* to see a picture of it actually in use.

I didn't quite dare take one when they were out there, in case they looked up and saw me!!

it does sway alarmingly though...

see those illegal immigrants in the back? that's your family that is
