I think you're wrong. Both make sense but personal is more correct. The sentence he wanted translated:Uzique wrote:
it is personnel protective clothing, not personal
make sure you don't mistake them!
personnel = people employed by the business, the official protective clothing of the organization
personal = their own protective clothing from home
the first one makes sense - the other doesn't.
LOL well your English is best when you're writing personal insults on this forum so well done. I say inferiority complex because 90% of your posts involve insulting someone, rudely, and childishly.Uzique wrote:
i study english, speak the language and live in the country.
lmfao no it isn't. Where did you last see that written down? Not saying it doesn't make sense, just that it's not common and everyday like you seem to think it is.Uzique wrote:
personnel clothing is a common-term in every day english.

BUT EITHER ONE MAKES SENSE DEPENDING ON WHAT THE OP WANTS TO SAY.
Of course they have lockers for the personnel's clothes. Whose clothes will they have if not the personnel's? Can I walk in off the street and leave my jacket there? No, cos I'm not personnel. It's practically a truism. 'Personnel clothing' is clothing only for personnel. But what if I'm a visitor surveying the site? I don't need 'personnel' clothing, although I COULD borrow clothing intended for or belonging to the personnel, but I need 'personal' protective clothing cos there's no point trying to share is there?Uzique wrote:
most building sites, factories or places of vocational-danger will have a locker space or room to keep 'personnel clothing': hard-hats, high-vis jackets, steel-cap boots, protective gloves etc. it makes a LOT more sense and is FAR more contextually-plausible than saying 'personal clothing'.
Hey Frilly Pants (sorry mate, he started it) I have to keep a hard hat and a fucking hi vis vest and proper boots in my van incase I get called out to building sites, as you turn up quite often site signs warn you 'No entery beyond this point without correct PPE' years ago I used to mnake signs saying 'PPE is provided for your protection and must be worn', how times have changed, you have to take your own now.Uzique wrote:
it doesn't make sense for a visitor to have to bring their own fucking hard-hats and helmets to a work-site, does it?
I use 4-5 of them every day Didnt have a clue who made them.1927 wrote:
One of our customers, our biggest http://www.scafftag.com/index may require 10,000 of a particular sign. We would screen print them, maybe 10 up on one sheet, and then guillotine them down (putting 50 in at a time), then use a 'corner cutter' to remove the sharp corners. Our customer buys them for eg 18p@, buys a pen, a holder and will sell 10 pens, 10 inserts (the bit we make) and 10 holders for £70. A huge mark up. They buy and sell our goods all over the world to people like Tate and Lyle, Glaxo, Rolls Royce to name a few. We have had loads of people start up a business to try and muscle in but the experience we have keeps us in good stead. Scafftag were bought by The Brady Corporation a few years ago and we started shitting bricks. Brady's already own Signs and Labels (a huge saftey sign company) and we naturally thought 'oh shit thats the end of us then'. However, we can make a better quality product, for less money in less time than one of Scafftag's sister companies. So for now they remain loyal.
I found one one day on the pebbly beach near us like, randomly washed up and the ink etc was scratched to fuck but still there on it, made a cracking photo.hawaythelads wrote:

I reckon we have done it for about 30 years, my ol man started doing work for them the day they started. 30 Differnt kinds and shapes approx, 15 languages approx. We've watched them grow from nothing to when the boss sold it about 5 years ago for a few mill. As I say its not the kind of thing anyone can do, one of their own who have the latest equipment etc cant. We just dont charge enough.hawaythelads wrote:
