What’s it getting painted in, gold leaf?

The paints a fiver.
The labour to do it along with the scaffolding is a different matter.

If the roof needs painting on the Upper get some of it replaces with something clear so that the flank on that side gets some more sunlight (ala Newcastle’s SJP). It’s always the first bit to deteriorate in Autumn. Or better still get rid of the roof entirely - that’ll put some hairs on ya chest.

Bet it's the same fire retardant paint I had to use on the steels in my son's new kitchen. Still got the degreaser, wire brushes etc. plus an electric paint sprayer I'm currently using on his masonry.

Scaffolding will cost plenty but I reckon I would be O.K. on ladders from my seat on Row G!  Elf n' Safety would rule me out due to my age though and travel/ accommodation costs wouldn't be cheap.

The days of the willing amateur are sadly behind us.

The painting job on steel that was referred to is the upper.  I eluded to it on another post.  It's about £750k.

Jeeeeezus!!

Knock the bloody thing down and save the money for when we can actually afford to move ground. I’m saying that even though my season ticket is up there!!

750k - might as well just burn the cash in the centre circle at half time next home game.

Surely if the role is occupied by a male then it's a Chairman. If it was occupied by a female then it would be Chairwoman?

This was once correct but like policeman and policewoman it's now police officer because it shouldn't matter which sex the person is; they have the same right and the same skillset to do the job. Same goes for firefighter.

Chair is gender neutral. Shouldn't matter if it's a man or a woman. Women who act have been called actors for years, because that's what they are. It was never an exclusively male term. People invented a word like actress to make a point of difference, but at the end of the day they're acting, therefore they're actors.

Halfway through and enjoying it.

Think we might need to start a crowdfunder to get Stockwood a decent internet connection though, bloke consistently sounds like he lives in a glass of water.

But......is that glass half full or half empty..eh eh ?

I get what you are saying but surely  why then differentiate between sexes at all? We are all people with the same skill sets.  I just can't see what difference it makes as long as the description suits the gender of the person doing the role.
