From The Seat Of The Cab

Who pays, who's responsible and why are hire machines going back in such a bad way?

Being responsible and taking accountability makes us who we are. At my age, it's just another day, and if there's work, I'll take it, but what does the audience think of working on your birthday? For me it's because the money will be much more beneficial over the Christmas break when I can enjoy it more than nursing a hangover and dossing tge day away.

Storms are wreaking havoc around the UK these last few days. Join me as I talk about my thoughts on why so many towns and cities are suffering.

So Vistry grp, who sat on their hands tight lipped and mouths zipped when subbies were getting hit with white diesel costs over red are demanding 10% price reductions from subbies, yay 🤔

HS2, the current political football that shouldn't be!

Check out the @justpearlythings podcast to understand modern women's thinking.

A bit of extreme honesty and a peek into my private life and the situation surrounding my arrival and my departure from this amazing house in Melton Mowbray.

Join me as we talk about tickets and tax returns

My social media is plugged up with tilt rotators in high-speed montage to Europop and dance music, content creators and showcase pages need to get more of the industry and the work we do on show, the digger sporting a tilty was new viewing on socials in 2017/18 but it's old hat now and with thousands of hours of them at work it's kind of boring, no sorry telling of what they're doing or the work w...

Long live the vintage plant and machinery, but if owners don't show it, people won't see it and these wonderful little shows disappear from sight and become a mere memory.

Interest rates went up and now people who overstretched themselves are feeling the pinch!

The scariest 9 words according to Ronald Reagan "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" they're not the answer, company level mentoring and dare I suggest a collaboration of companies to create a training scheme with a mentor to teach people? Sadly it all comes down to money, and no one wants to pay!

Bit of sociopolitical commentary and how the US has gone rogue destroying European prosperity.

The age old question "how do I get the experience if I can't get a job on site?"

Excellence is doing it right even when there's no one there to see what you're doing!

Some YouTube on a bank holiday lunch time yielded some thoughts on the industries we have lost, skills that have died out through the loss of those industries. What are our children and grand children going to be doing in this country if we continue to dismantle the core industries that founded our great nation?

What is proper on the job training if it's not mentorship?

An evening chat about work ethics and the lack of motivation in some sectors of the construction industry while I'm on night shift.

Sorry for the road noise and jangly keys but I think better when I'm driving 🤪 A very personal thing for me and I will try my best to be the rock in stormy waters and the beacon of light in your dark times.

A question asked on LinkedIn gave me pause for thought and I thought we could rummage around the thoughts on "where do you see yourself in 5yrs time"?

My thoughts on humanoid recognition systems and some questions about the necessity of them on certain items of plant over a standard visual thumbs up safety aid. Tell me what you think!

Whilst we talk about mental health and the acceptance of trans people in our work places, a conversation I had with a young man really made me think and raise an interesting question, should plant hire outfits that offer operated services be offering a holiday pay incentive for reliable and conscientious operators to keep their high standards and give newer operators something to aspire to?

The district's of the hunger games perhaps?

The court of public opinion surrounding pictures posted on social media without context.

Just my thoughts on what we think and how plan B might work out should the construction industry suddenly stop in the event of a recession biting hard!
