These are not 5 year olds that are roaming around out complex… they are bigger kids. i think (i have to check it though) children under 4 are excluded. That being said if a 4y old is walking around alone in my complex there is a bigger problem in that the parents are not looking after those kids

Avoid the third one, it looks like it doesn’t have thickness adjustment. I’d say the 2nd one looks like the best build quality.
I got one of these types of things from clicks with 4 or 5 blade inserts, and they all suck. But I thought it would be a good alternative to a box grater at the time, since it had both a fine and a coarse cheese/carrot insert. I ended up getting a box grater a few years later when my parents were visiting, but it is also crap (the metal buckles when grating cheese, for example). I gotta stop buying cheap junk for the kitchen…
What kind of things are you planning to cut with it?

Its mainly for carrots and cucumber - those kind of things.
Ive always gone for the cheapies as well.
As for graters, just normal ones, but I just grab the ones from Checkers - we have found they last the longest - the expensive ones break just as fast and go blunt

So julienne cuts and dicing mostly?
Next time I buy a box grater, I’m gonna hold in between my palms and see if my thumbs can push the grating plane in. If it buckles, I’ll find another one. I actually almost got the checkers one, but I found one for about R40 cheaper at the Hub, and since my parents were paying for it, I decided to get that one.

Ek of breek die handvatsel af of hulle snap in die helfte
And i removed the images, the owner came to shout at me, so I politely told him I will happily give HIS clients directions if he is willing to pay me R100 per client. . . . that shut him up.
I just told him that I have spoken to his receptionist about it a few times now, and it really is an issue because their clients will walk into my offices or randomly start knocking on walls/doors and windows to get directions when some of us are in meetings or busy. They are always rude, they don’t follow direction well even when I walk them to the door.
He apologised and left. Hopefully, they will start adding instructions with their directions.

Sy defence is hy het n groot sign op die muur bo by sy venster - toe verduidelik ek vir hom mense dink hy besit die hele gebou en bars net in. Hulle kan letterlik nie n sign op die deur, op die muur lanks die deur en lanks die muur as jy in my kantoor in kom.
Ma waag jy vir die mense se hulle is in die verkeerde plek, raak hulle onbeskof en ek is gatvol

I’m busy compiling my safety file online (our site uses a proprietary online platform), and it’s a nightmare. The process is long and drawn out and people are useless at helping. I’d much rather do team work than be sorting this nonsense out!

Hmm this also depends on a few things. How many people do you have on site. When i was still in construction this was always a fight. They say you dont need one and then when you get on site you need to do one. It is very possible to go under a main contractors safety file.
All you would have to arranged with them is to add your tool box talks to what work you will be doing and the risks according to the work being done. And if you are using any sort of product you then need the MSDS sheet of the product.
Health and safety officers always gave me uphill on site as they wanted me to use them and pay them to do the work. But due to it only being five people it was not needed to have all the bells for the sites.
I was on a site in sandton and it was just me and one guy and then told me we needed a first aider. I just told him to please show me the section in the OSHA that states what he wants. He then just left me alone ><
o and also if you are a consultant you dont need a safety file of any sort as you are not doing any physical work on site. At most who every the main safety officer is on site needs to do a induction as to the rules of the site, and if you are on site for a limited time they are forced to (depending on the site and the safety ) accompany you while on site. What type of site is this ?

Oh, the first aider thing… Sigh.
I’m at a mine - 4 sites, so 4 files. 14 people split over those 4 sites, max of 2 in any one office. The form where you need to list the first aiders states that any contract with more than 10 people working on one shift needs to have a first aider. Training reckons because we’re 14 people in one contractor, we need two first aiders.
/facepalm
I sent two team members for the on site training a month ago, still haven’t received their certificates /double facepalm

HSE is good but they make it so difficult for no reason at all. I have only had maybe 5 sites when i never had HSE issues in the 5 years of working in construction.
I feel like they sometimes make it harder than it should be

I called my daughter stupid last night, first time in her almost 18 years alive. I also fell into a deep depression because I realised that a new generation will not learn anything from the old and that us as humans are truly fucked because, it seems, we cannot learn from our mistakes.
After everything I have done and shown her about lung cancer, cancer and other effects of smoking, throughout her life, she is now smoking. I always thought her fierce independence would keep her free from peer pressure but no such luck.
Last night was also the first time I wished I was not a parent. I hate this feeling.
The other thing it proved to me is that our kids do NOT follow our examples, in fact, they do the exact opposite. I don’t smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs at all and never have because I saw what it did to my parents. So have I caused this by making her do the opposite of what I am?
I hate this and am struggling to find purpose in my role as a parent now.
