Is it going to go out of business?

Not when you can climb the ladder to success.

no it keeps climbing up the FTSE

Too many health and safety issues :-)

I noticed ladders in the USA have a sticker on every step. I assume it's some sort of H&S warning so I didn't read it.

Aluminium step ladders are in the list of goods that determine the retail price index. As we buy them every week in our shopping the Government must be confident that sales are going up.

Do you mean the sticker that says do not lean this ladder against overhead power cables :)

Yes. It's hard to get on the first rung these days.

I think you're all being deliberately obtuse!

Well, it's a downhill process from here to the old folks home....

Nah. It comes too naturally to us all to count as deliberate :-)

So what triggered the question in the first place ?

They are taking their case to a higher court though.

Ok, what's your angle on them?

That was a cute reply ...

I hope this thread doesn't get protracted, if it can't encompass all interests, it might divide us.

OK, on The Archers Sid was wobbling on a ladder, fixing Ambridge's Christmas lights.

I wondered if this was allowed, perhaps he should have scaffolding. The musing continued to its logical conclusion ...

Somebody else must have thought about this knock-on effect?

Mary

You've got the right angle on this.

Mary

I find it soothing to not listen to the Archers.

What was that quote

'the problem with capitalism is the unfair spread of happines: The problem with socialism is the equal spread of misery'

I'm sure it was a reflex.

This shows all sines of going off at a tangent.

You could have a point* there ...

Mary trig point naturally
