Knife attack

[Gus McWilliam]

I had a guy throw a bottle at me once. Boss took him aside and demonstrated what a nice sharp saw can do to a lump of wood. I got a swift apology after that

just before the Knife attack a Man walked through my work site in south London...i put my hands up to stop him and said there was about a quarter ton piece of wood about to come down on and could he please walk around..."Blad!" he said....."move man!" i cant let you come through sir it,s a work site and is not safe or legal to allow you to walk through.... fuming with rage,the suited youth said,"Wait here man!" you gonna get shot in your f.......g head blad wait here!!!" he stormed off through the work site.....as we were doing the final tidy up i saw him returning round the corner with a bag under his arm about an hour later...heading up the street towards me.....checking all the tools were packed and the blower was removing the last of the Plane dust from the pavement i calmly said,"Right let,s do one...in the truck pedal to the metal and left that area quick sharp and on to the next job a couple of miles away....i wasn,t waiting to find out. Did my time on Londons mean streets...never again will i work on Street trees in the Capital...There are Loonies everywhere...

We got threatened with a gun last Tuesday in Salford, had to make witness statements to the housing people and the police and everything!

Jesus- I've had people with issues but this takes the biscuit.

Did they ever catch the 30 year old black woman. I'm thinking his work mates were preoccupied with saving him rather than chasing her.

We're on street work in London in a couple of weeks- hoping we don't come across this sort of thing. Do we put it in the risk assessment? Ha

A very good reason I never want or will work in London.

 

Best that happens in this sleepy town is an upset neighbour that like the tree as they watch the birds land in it......never seen them with a gun tho.

Should have tickled her legs with the saw so she couldn't get away:lol:
