Right mad cnut, hated coons and had a 4 year battle with the rspca for putting a road traffic accident jack Russell out of its misery with a lump hammer. As has been said, no matter how mad they are at least they have straight beliefs, don't worship puffs and diversity and never beheaded anyone. Up the JW's 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 10,156 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Say what you will about them they do stick together. A gamekeeper around this way was one in the early 70s the same chap the late Barry Hines based his book on. I will always remember what he told me and that was bowe to no man as he had packed the game keeping job in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,280 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Historically the Plymouth Brethren go,s back to Ireland but one of their most notable members at the start of the last century was the assistant chief of Met Police, Robertson i forget his first name now, and ever since then they have had decent numbers within the Met....a funny little story a number of years ago through a friend of a friend i ended up investing a little bit of money in a business run by them and was invited to a dinner at the offices above the workplace ....they are well known for only employing their own so i knew i was going to be the only non Brethren amongst around 20 of them......so we walk into a huge room upstairs and theres a King Henry the eighth style table set out which im told even on work days they all have to stop work and sit around the table to eat together.....out the corner of my eye ive also clocked one little table on its own over in the corner, thats weird im thinking......we sit down and get into conversation and then after a while im asked to go and sit at the other table as the rules are no non Brethren may sit around the dinner table !.....almost out of shock and not wanting to offend anyone i slump away on my own to this lone table and start eating but within a couple of minutes my pride kicks in and i throw a tantrum " what am i some kind of f****n leper....f**k the lot of you " and im out of there, thanks but no thanks....like i say,strange people Edited October 31, 2020 by gnasher16 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
