Bazza,i will personally get you the acid you need to clean your boat..pm me and i will sort it out |

Good thinking FQ ....... surely if roading companies are responsible for
using this stuff that coats & probably harms our vehicles then they have
an obligation to provide a facility that will wash it off or neutralise it.

You'll like this, I rang the cops a few years ago to come down to my site on Tamaki Drive in Okahu Bay where we were trimming trees for the new bus lane, they (the cops) I think they ran out of tickets to give, the biggest reply was "What signs?" and "I didn't think the were right, I always do 50 along here!" No when I set site like that, you have no choice but to slow down. |

The complete lack of decent drivers who can read signs and slow down is a large problem,if you do 30 thru a work site you wil get minimum splashes on your car,this sounds simple but the reality is no one does.I have a complaints dept on my sites where disgruntled drivers can discuss there issues.Itcomes with a free black eye and verbal abuse from a west Auckland Maori who drives for me |
