Does this mean that he needs a helmet, licence, registration and insurance?

Ace doesn't need a Segway to look a right ****.

On the other hand, a Segway might well be an image improvement for
you.

HTH.

 

Couldnt afford one you ****.

sell the Eunos - that might get you enough for a 2nd-hand Segway.

 

I would rather wear your clothes in public.

Wake up, it's 2011 and skilled workers are in demand.

Machinists where I work are on about £50k/year and we're not the
highest payers in our market area.

 

Machinists aren't "factory workers". Factory workers are people who
put socks into boxes, operate on a canning line, shut the lids on
packaged sandwiches, and put the blue widget on the thingummy 30,000
times a day.

50k could probably get you 3 or 4 of them in places like Lincolnshire.

 

A quick google suggests "factory workers" can expect to get paid £5.93/hr,
some as much as £6.00, in that part of the world. So, a 50k a year
employee would be putting in something in excess of 8000 hrs a year at
work. Assuming a paid working year of 48 weeks this is 160+hrs a week.
Which, although commendable in this day and age of all being in it
together seems to put him in the category of "employers perfect profit
making machine" and thus unlikely to get sacked.

Either way there is far too much utter fucking bollox in that story to
make any of it credible.

 

Hate to burst your little envy-bubble, old man, but the wives driving
hubbie's company car are most probably insured by the company
insurance.

 

I'd like to think that was meant as a compliment, but sadly I can't
quite interpret it as such.

He'd never keep it long enough to get an 'image' from it.

But on the subject of Segways, they are actually quite a laugh, when
there's a bunch of you pissing about on them in downtown SF. Doesn't
take much practice to start stunting on them, and fair gets the
tourists gawping ;-)

 

Heh. What a twat, eh? Thankfully I only live here, I _live_ in
Switzerland.

 

My ex-wife and even my ex-girlfriend were insured on my old company
Scoobys and the cars I had before those

they churn out)

 

Eh? Dunno where you get that idea from.

That's like defining office workers as people who just move bits of
paper from an in-tray to an out-tray. Sure, such people exist, but
there's a lot more goes on if factories thn that.

 

If only that were true.

 

On the basis machinists also hold jobs outside of factories, in
engineering shops, for example, so are not strictly a "factory
worker", that's just one location their type of work may exist in...
Whereas the kind of "factory work" I describe only really exists in
factories.

Which is also sort of that case as I'd interpret "office worker" as an
unskilled generic admin job, as opposed to a career type role with a
title like accountant, auditor, sales executive, statistician, lawyer,
operations manager, etc.

</pedantic>

 

Untrue.

Those sorts of tasks occur in cottage industries e.g. the crofter that has
a loom in his home. The loom operation might fall into craft work but the
ancilliary tasks such as wool winding/blending and hand finishing would be
similar to your factory work.

Those sorts of tasks are undertaken by home workers where factory made
goods are delivered for hand finishing such as clothing or, as in the case
of a local firm, rubber gaskets for hand trimming. Lots of print finishing
jobs are done by home workers e.g. stuffing envelopes. All piece work and
often in the grey economy as people earn way under the NMW.

 

You can hire them at Berchtesgaden to ascend the narrow service road to the
Kehlsteinhaus as an alternative to taking the service bus/lift. Looked like
fun.
