I will ask "The Bloke in the Pub" if he found the copy of your Marriage Certificate as he was going through the ntl waste bins
ntl should sack all the supervisors, gaffers are a left over from Victorian factory practises, make employee's responsible for their own actions, and sack them as well if they are incompetent.
All the firms I have worked for which had no gaffers were a lot more productive and heaps more profitable than firms with a gaffer.
