The Code of Practice

[Groggy]

However, I believe that Shane has a point. A short statement of some sort,displayed prominently in the shed is a good idea. How about this:

Para 5.7 of The Code deals with warning signs. I reckon that an addition to the recommended warning sign about machinery and shoulder-tapping should read:

"Notice: Anyone entering this shed is subject to The Code of Practice."

A point of logic Mr Driver sir.

The warning sign would need to be outside, not inside. Or the idea is illogical.

Groggy, You're right, of course. The outside is undoubtedly both the logical and the sensible place for the notice. (Smartarse!)

As to the status of "honorary bloke" - Shane has hit the nail unerringly upon the scone - as I am sure that honorary blokes like Wendy and Bob Childress will appreciate.

Well, I for one consider it a singular honour. But you wankers had better stop having a go at my window coverings (aka "curtains") or something terrible will happen to your blokely bits. You have been warned!

Kindest regards,

Did anyone see my lips move?

As advertised, here is the latest update to The Code.

It includes:
- on page 5, a new para: 5.7.4 'Further Note', under Warning Signs,

- on page 7, another new para: 5.13 'Window coverings'

- on page 31, under Acknowledgements, the addition of Groggy's name as a member of the Drafting Committee, for his useful (and logical ) contribution to the discussion on placement of the afore-mentioned signage. Onya Groggy!

As usual, the additional and/or amended text has been highlighted for the benefit of blokes who don't want to plough through pages of The Code they may (or may not ) already have read.

Driver, someone mailed The Code to me at work the other week, it is gathering a life of its own!

Amazing! That's the first time I've heard of an email circulating where I know how it originated.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I wonder how long before we see modified versions doing the rounds?

Not too long, I imagine. But we'll know, won't we? There is only one Code of Practice!

Provided you keep control of the text version and only release PDF you should limit the wannabees a bit.

Provided you keep control of the text version and only release PDF you should limit the wannabees a bit.

You can download a PDF ripper that will turn it back into flat text in 2 seconds.
If you relly wanted to protect it from editing, you print it out & then scan it back as a picture but there are some bits of OCR software that are getting better now too.

[Driver]

To be honest, it doesn't bother me if someone wants to edit and amend the emailed version.

You can't prevent it from happening and, anyway, who's to say that the amendments might not be improvements?

All contributions gratefully received, I reckon.
