A considerable amount of correspondence has appeared in ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV as to why so few women find work on construction sites.

It has been suggested that this is a result of discrimination and the saucy calendars that frequent many site office walls. A female colleague of mine probably put her finger on the truth when she said that neither she nor her friends would consider working on a construction site due to the effect it might have on their nails.
