I lived above a pub on Leith walk called the old salt, it used to open at 5am, regularly folk with hi vizs and builders hats on having a few shandies at 7am......must make for a hard day's work ahead of you.

Can’t imagine doing that!  If I had a couple pints at lunch time all i want to do is nap

the whole "non smokers only" always baffles me. The outdoors ous the last refuge of the smoker? Am I worse at my job or less reliable than a non smoker?

I perfectly understand the "No crystal/ masturbation" policies that I've been pulled up on though...

I’m not a weed smoker anymore but have no objection to it if it’s not in Work time or affecting you the next day. I have worked with Lads who smoked a joint in the morning before work and said to them how would you like it if I drank a few whiskeys before work? They understood and it was stopped.
As for tattoos, I see no issue unless you have a profanity tattooed across your forehead. Most tattoos are artwork nowadays and I think most people appreciate them.

I don't have issues with cigarette smokers, as long as they don't throw the butts away in the garden, or light up in my pick up.

 

 I wouldn't want to deny a smoker the right to have a fag, they can get ratty!

Indeed, you wouldn't want to listen to a nicotine deprived worker bitching all day.

I've noticed a few ads specifying non smokers. I'm just sore that I dont live up to some peoples standards.

You really dont want to deny a smoker a fag now and then,ive seen it result in problematic machinery being ejected from the tree.

Its ok though it was a 201tc...

That's mental Bill.

 

Are you sure they weren't coming off nights?

When I worked on the roads lots of the lads smoked d'erb. That's changed now due to random drug testing. I guess many of you lads work for small companies that don't do drug tests, so smoking a joint isn't going to get you the sack.

A lot of construction jobs have drugs testing for anyone going to a site induction (ie everyone). Then there is random drugs testing.

 

I have to admit that some of the guys on site really should be taking performance enhancing drugs though...

Tattoos don't really bother me. I'd just hope no guys here gets a "tramp stamp" though...
