As the weathermen like to say "its going to get worse before it gets better".

My son has done some diving work on lock gates...I hate it when he does since he told me about one poor diver that was crushed a few years ago....
The Agency that employs them earns the £££...but the last job he did down here not through the agency .. that paid him day rate of £120...he won't work in this area any more. Its dangerous work for not enough pay
He has to buy his own dry suit and lot of his kit and pay to keep his certs up to date...its a tough job.
I know some divers earn a lot of money particularly on the oil rigs and wind farms but the reality for the odd jobbing diver is different.

However, things do go on in the background, and I am reminded of the CRT workshop in Stanley Ferry who kindly gave us an unofficial tour. Photos in this lot (link below). I would remind everybody that at the workshop we were told that the "John Wayne's legs" holes/gaps in lock gates ARE caused by boats brushing against them, and to OPEN BOTH GATES ALWAYS! Told by the people that make 'em!! photos.app.goo.gl/btXvvXAGCprAtVtF2 |

One of the reasons stoppages get cancelled this time of the year is that C&RT tries to avoid going over budget ...
