Hearing problems and PPE

[Pete999]

Just a warning to the younger fraternity, just been watching Watchdog on catch up TV and very surprised at the results from testing household appliances for decibel readings, some hair dryers, should not according to the results of the tests be used for more than 2 minutes at any one time.

Now I was brought up in an era where PPE was not issue or if it was it was in it's infancy, drills, power saws, you get the picture most portable tools you all use today, very rarely were ear defenders used in those days, so a warning, if you are using any power tools use the correct PPE as well, I now have tinnitus and in the very near future will need hearing aids, so don't shrink away from using PPE of any description, you will regret it, I do.

Can we please have an area whereby OAPSs can discuss their passions without the input from those, too young to understand the requirements of Senior citizens, or is that too much to ask?

ihate that bloody twerm "senior citizens". just a euphemism for OAPs. much prefer the terms "coffin dodger", " pension grabber". "old fart".

If you are referring to the fact that I would have run out onWednesday itf I had bought 6 bottles, then up yours as I went to a School concert yesterday and my day consisted of getting ready, concert, and Maccy Dees for me dinner, which in all honesty was not that bad, apart from the unnecessary intervention by some people of undetermined nationality it would have been OK.
