    In answer to your questions;

    1. Very heavy duty ones with double stitching on the knees for begging for pay rises (they can be coveralls or overalls, it depends on whether you are a whinging pom or a lazy whining antipodean)

    2. It is like a woman, you start at the bottom and work your way up.

    In any event ….UP THE DIVERS (right up them GIRFUY)

    And thats all i have to say on the subject James 🙁

    Excerpt from the front page news….

    STRIKING NORTH Sea divers and support workers have reacted angrily to bullying and intimimidation tactics from employers seeking to undermine RMT’s solid strike action.

    As the strike by more than 900 diving personnel entered its second day, reports were coming in of intimidating ‘phone calls being made to strikers’ homes and attempts to bully people into signing individual contracts. 02 Nov 2006

    Here is a load of bull from the so called employers….

    The employers went on to accuse divers’ uni0n, the RMT, of "intimidation of our workforce, aimed at getting them to leave the sites immediately," when the strike began. In doing so, the employers said the RMT had "reneged on its promise to ensure a safe shut down of diving systems.

    "Divers live in the diving system at pressures equivalent to the depth of water they are diving in, so the maintenance of the system, its support and the correct procedure for shutdown are safety critical," said the statement.

    "When they break their promise on such a critical safety matter, it undermines any confidence the employers can have that the uni0n can be trusted," the statement said.

    I can really see the divers just leaving their mates under pressure in the bin and walking off. NOT!!
    How can anyone even believe such crap?

    —————————————————————————————————
    BTW… When using the word Uni0n replace the letter ‘o’ with the number ‘0’, as I have just done, or your post may not be accepted. Any use of the full word (with letters only) may be blocked.
    This is because that word can be used in code when hacking attempts are made on this site. We are protected as best that can be at present against this type of attack.
