DemolitionNews

Back in 1994, an elderly lady in America was sitting in the back of her grandson’s car, drinking a cup of McDonald’s coffee. She spilled the coffee in her lap and suffered third-degree burns.

Time to Heal
DemolitionNews

“Be kind. Everyone you meet is going through a battle you know nothing about.” It’s a phrase I’m sure you’ve seen. It appears on inspirational posters and t-shirts. While it speaks volumes about modern society that we need to be reminded to display kindness, it remains good advice, which is why the phrase has been...Read moreRead more

The Fragile Generation
DemolitionNews

What I am about to say will probably not sit well with young people. Or teachers. Or young people that are teachers. And it will almost certainly mean that I am never invited to be a guest speaker at a school or college ever again. But someone needs to say it. We are witnessing the...Read moreRead more

Smoke & Mirrors
DemolitionNews

I think we can all agree that the demolition and construction industry is not without its problems. Even the eternal optimist wearing rose-tinted spectacles can see that all is not well within the sector and its massed ranks. And yet, rather than seeking solutions, we have apparently taken a different approach: hiding behind lazy, unproven...Read moreRead more

DemolitionNews
