Shogun Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 When I started work after leaving school on the first day I was targeted for the traditional leg pull.One of the gaffers said[Go to Albert in the fitters shop and ask him for the long stand],so off I tootled and did as told.Albert said[stand there son I,ll sort you out in a minute].After 30 mins he said[i cant find it go to Bill in the garage and ask him for it],this I did,same routine,sent to someone else after a long wait.Three hours later I was sent back to were I,d started with the message it was missing.The penny dropped when everyone started laughing their heads off !.Did you have anything similar pulled on you as a new employee green as grass?. Old Tup when I was an apprentice mechanic they tried all that stuff on me ,go and ask for a tin of air,long stand and all that, but I wasn't having non of it when they said they were going to grease my nuts!

hellabobby Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 On site when I was about seventeen I was sent to ask uncle Albert for a left handed clip. It stung a bit but I got my own back at lunch time, he gave me £5 (about a days wage) to bring him a sandwich and said get yourself something so i bought a shirt.
