When I was an Asbestos Remover we had bagged all the asbestos up & cleaned all the enclosure. When we got out we found out that the fella we were working for was going to knock us, so we went back in & tipped all the asbestos back out so contaminating the whole enclosure !

Our old house had those awful windows in the first picture, we replaced them with original styled ones.
Who would ever think it’s right to take those out for the others 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️

For the people who haven’t read the tweet properly. Asbestos is removed in a sealed enclosure, wearing masks & one use suits, which you enter & exit through a decontamination unit.
The asbestos was emptied back out in the sealed off area which would not endanger anyone.....

Before the day ends I wanted to share, this day 21yrs ago our beautiful daughter Rosie was born. Unfortunately there was some complications which left her fighting for life, but live she did, although her life was brief, she died just before reaching 12.
12 wonderful years ❤️🙏🏼

The next generation being taught how to go up the inside of large dangerous vehicles and then ignore the red light.

It’s such a shame what’s happened with fares to Gt. Ormond St.

Tomorrow will be my last day driving a diesel taxi.
Electric I hear you ask ? No no no !
As I’ve been freehold for 14yrs, the thought of a payment terrifies me, so Monday I drop my cab off to be fitted with a brand new LPG engine, extending my cab by 5yrs taking it to Dec 26 🙏🏼

The treatment we’ve received from TFL is heartbreaking really.

A constant all day everyday !
They keep changing roads, changing lights, widening pavements, but until pedestrians start taking responsibility for their own safety people will keep getting hit !
