Leatherface 173 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Used to crack me up when working down London in this rail depot. They had these African security guards and they expected you to provide your ID at the van window before they would let you in, if your ID wasn't at the window they would start chuntering and pointing their fingers at the windows. Whenever we pulled in Tank would be at it, miserable as owt. "Look at this spear chucker, oh f**k off ya sooty faced c**t" But as soon as he got up to them he'd be like "Are you alright love?" Camp as f**k. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I miss in the place I work no characters that could make the worst job's better. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aled 474 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 3 hours ago, tatsblisters said: Really glad for you Aled. My problem is that it's a deep rutt I seem to be in job wise and that rutt gets deeper the older I get and the thing that gets me through the working week is knowing it's only a couple of years before retirement. Sad as it may seem to some. I get where you are coming from, my wife is in a similar situation. Wishing you well mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
