we have just finished tiling a morrissons in bathgate where they have ran loads scissor lifts over our tiles without protection so as u can guese loads broken tiles and the agent on site turns round and says dont worry about the broken tiles u will get payed to fix them im like well if you protected the floor we wouldnt have this problem these agents just dnt no how long it takes to dig up and replace tiles then when u do because there in the middle of the floor somehow even with it barricaded off someone still manages to stand on them just wondering who else hates this lol rant over

Had it for years, does my head in. On big floors especially sand and cement, you need eyes in the back of your head

You can put up barriers and they walk round them..

I'm sure I've posted this story before, but the worst case of this type of madness happened on a Lidl store. After laying 180M2 on the tuesday, in sand and cement 70mm semi-dry. I arrived on wednesday 8.00am, to find our screeder Tony walking towards me waving his hands and shaking his head, he said" Phil you don't want to go in there".

Tony and his son used to start at 6.00am, so they would normally have 70/80 m2 ready for my team to get started on (tiling). this morning was different. We enter the store to find in the region of 150M2 destroyed. We find out the reason for this carnage is due to the two security personelle charged with preventing local children from riding their push bikes on our newly laid floor decided during the night they were unable to sleep due to the florescent lighting being to bright, as they could not find the switches, in their wisdom they decided to remove the starter motors from each unit by way of driving a 1.5 tonne scissor lift over the newly laid tiles. Literally driving on and reversing off backwards & forwards to reach each individual florecent fitting.

As you can imagine non of the members of my team were very pleased to say the least, and one valued member after erecting an improvised scaffold was persuaded to take the noose from one of the security guys necks. He was so outraged that he decided to leave the site and could not be persuaded to return.

As for the hapless pair of security guards, one of them remarked to me feeling sorry for himself "this damage is going to be deducted from our wages" to which I replied "I hope you lead a very healthy life style because by my reckoning, on your wages it will take you about 600 years to work this fiasco off. (Plonkers)!!!

Security guards who go to sleep while working, call me Mr Picky but they don't seem that proffesional....

On the subject of security plonkers, My brother when he was an apprentice joiner with Hunter & Clark, was first of th mini-bus in to the site canteen to find the Old Security guard, lying on the bench, TV screen all fuzzy (tape ended).

OHHH he was completley starkers!!!!!!!

My Bro shouts at him, he bolts up runs to his car speeds of never to be seen again ..

Thats exactly what I couldn't get my head round Mark. How much damage could a couple of kids on push bikes have done? better off without the security, every time
