So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

7 months into the job and discovered one of the houses has a 4 inch wooden plinth running along the front of the driveway yesterday, unfortunately it was my heel striking it as I turned into the drive and went ar$e over t!t, few scrapes and a minor wrist ache but seem quite lucky considering it was a bit of a somersault. Can't understand people having any sort of wooden walkways in this country as they are a death trap.

So all in, crap day at the office. :mad

That's not good. Hope your wrist is better.

Did you report it when you got back as it need s to be noted.
