Chainman Mug

The shabby-arsed useless tit of an assistant who attempts to follow orders given to him by a Land Surveyor. Chainmen tend to be: 1) students of the Surveyhood whilst gaining vital survey experience in the off peak periods or 2) Career chainmen - nasty rabid, fly blown and flea bitten pieces of work who, for some reason, are all smokers and have filthy beards. Chainmen (or chainpersons) are responsible for: - Keeping the survey vessels (see rust bucket) in reasonable cleanly order and with appropriate amount of stocks - holding the prism pole for the surveyor (as the surveyor can only be in one place at one time unfortunately...) - Following orders from the surveyor - Filling the air with cigarette smoke and the nasal twang of bogan accents - Generally making a balls up of every possible situation See chainy
