Britainâs scaffolding should be a source of national pride - instead weâre struggling to recruit workers | Adrian Chiles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My dad and grandad were scaffolders. I even did it myself for a short time. Itâs brutally hard work â but itâs something the tech bros will never take away Thereâs a shortage of scaffolders. I canât think why. Itâs incredibly hard physical work, doubtless doesnât pay enough and requires real skill to get right. Scaffolding was part of my dadâs and grandadâs business, so I did it for a while, rather badly. After a torrid few months, I slowly got strong enough to make a contribut
I have a new favourite medical drama â and now I want to have a nasty accident in Pittsburgh | Adrian Chiles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Pitt is on a different level â itâs not so much like watching drama as being in one I do like a TV doctor. Iâm not talking about proper doctors who sit on studio sofas dispensing wisdom. Iâve nothing against them â why, I worked with Dr Hilary Jones on ITV and he was a very nice chap â but itâs to fictional doctors I want to entrust my care. Iâve not always felt this way. Either the standard of fictional TV medics has improved or, more likely, Iâm losing the plot. Itâs a

This year, I sowed more. Come summer, the crop underwhelmed me again. So I sowed still more, throwing around seeds of as many varieties as I could get hold of. Then I wen
Take good care of your tailbone. I didnât â and my derriere has never been the same since | Adrian Chiles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My coccyx still hurts from an extreme cycling challenge almost two decades ago. Is there anything itâs good for? âWelcome to middle age.â This is what my GP said to me 10 years ago when I asked her why I needed this pill or that. Being then just shy of 50, that hit home. Now being just shy of 60, I mutter those words to myself at least once a day. Thereâs a long list of aches, pains and assorted maladies about which to mutter. High up on that list are my shoulders. Bloody agony, both of
Driverless cars are taking us on a road to nowhere | Adrian Chiles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some inventions, like the dishwasher, improve our lives. But driverless cars will lobotomise us I’ve found a hill to die on. Driverless cars. Why? Really, why? If driverless cars are the answer, then what is the question? Who asked for them? Oh yes, they’re fine for the novelty value, for the lols, for the clicks. We probably know someone who’s been to California or China and sent home a video of their driverless journey. Fine fun for feeble minds, if you ask me. And feeble-minded is how we’re a
