Work of art, I was a welders mate at one time in my career years ago then the kids came along and I found the 2 jobs very similar and always seemed to be picking up sh!te after them , The crack was good down the shipyards at the time though

The Forman and I welded out names on the inside and put 2 coins in before I put the last lid on, like a coin on the keel laying lol

i was once stripping the main boom on a 500t telescopic crane and a couple of other engineers were there and it had been reassembled very poorly we were noticing as we stripped it and i asked the other two if they had done it last time , they vehemently denied ever having been near it , when we finally got it stripped on the last tele ram there was two names and a date , the pair of them had forgotten they had written their names on the ram with the date last time !

much hilarity and **** taking ensued , one of the pair was my father.......

I was working down the yard at the same time on the Piper Bravo construction around 1990, I left the yard to go offshore but very rarely on the Platforms, I was nearly always on the Construction/Dive vessels which is all oil and gas related but worlds apart to what they call topside.

A bit like the oil & gas now
& before people txting saying labour shut more they did …. But people had options to go to the big super pits
