The Anonymous Widower

An Incident In Walthamstow

I was walking to Walthamstow Central station yesterday, when I passed the building site, where they are building a new hotel. outside the gate were four builders, in fluorescent jackets and hard hats, chatting to each other.  The sort of thing you always see.

one of the group was obviously a woman and then the biggest and oldest man in the group picked hold of her shoulders and gave her a good shaking. This looked to be odd behaviour and possibly inappropriate.

A few seconds later, when I looked back, the woman had grabbed hold of another of the group and was repeating the shaking.

It was only then, that I realised what was happening, as I noted all of the group, were wearing full body harnesses and they were going to go climbing on the tall unfinished building.

Certainly, Health and Safety was being taken very seriously.
