neil cooney 10,416 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I can remember the job I was on when the last one occurred . Some of the lads, standing on the scaffold, stared straight at it and as far as I know none of them have gone blind since, LOL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
