I don't personally have a problem with either Millets (are they stil in business by the way) or B&Q for what they do, but (and here's the rub), neither would be on my list of suppliers of suitable PPE 'fit for purpose'.....and its unfortunate that much of the moaning that goes on from archaeologists regarding PPE is concerned with the fact that 'Millets' style waterproofs split within ten minutes of being first put on, B&Q safety helmets contain no comfort padding band or facility for attaching ear or eye protection etc etc .....
I have never heard any archaeologist say that PPE shouldn't be worn on grounds they would rather be unsafe!! Surely it can't be beyond the imagination of the H&S organiser within any archaeological organisation to 'google' the countless suppliers out there and find one who can provide suitable PPE equipment fit for purpose.....or even just ring David and ask what the BAJR toolstore can supply....guaranteed reliability at the very least I think.....
.....and by the way GnomeKing.....Classic post!! I wish I could have thought of a way to use the word 'flaccid' in a reply to Dirty Boy.....
