you cut yourself?

Scuzi · 6 Jun 2010 at 22:56

Me. I'm a typical straight plaster, specialising in wounds on fingers, arms and other such areas. For Knees or elbows my buddy is a butterfly plaster.

Tip - Buy the cheapest brand. We're all made in the same factory anyway.

The biggest scam ever.

Plus where are plasters for coloured people? Everytime I use one I unintenionally have to announce to the world I've been cut.

Get some proper elastoplast (the fabric stuff) almost impossible to get off when it's been on for a couple of hours. The rubbish stuff already shown in this thread is well, rubbish...

They actually do do brown plasters as well, however i'm guessing they are not that popular in most areas of the UK...

As for a plasterer, my dad did a bit (was a general builder) and tbh it can get boring very quickly, however if you're good and work long hours (think 6:30-6pm) then it's pretty good pay.

FYI you can double click on the thread title in the main forum view to edit the title for a short while after posting, one of the lesser known features of OcUK.
