feederfil Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 When I worked at brewery can remember yeast being squirted into a locker when bloke went on holiday.Two weeks later as you can imagine just a horrible smelly mess in his locker.One lad used to walk in pick up kettle shake it and switch on for a cup of tea.So one day we filled kettle with lager it bubbled and frothed and was like a cauldron off harry potter after that he always poured out the kettle before putting water in. Can remember people being sent for a bucket of blue steam or a straight bend from pipefitters. One of my favourites was a raffle rigged for a turkey at xmas,this bloke won and was given a live turkey on a piece of string.Still laugh at him walking this turkey round the brewery.

Downsunder Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I still can't believe I fell for the funnel trick but I did. First of all they demonstrate it, they tilt someone's head back and tell them to stand very still while a pile of coins is balanced on their forehead. Then a funnel is stuffed down the front of the trousers and the bloke has to straighten his head directing all the coins into the funnel. It looked like good fun! When they were carefully balancing the coins on my forehead, someone tipped a bottle of cold water down the funnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopT Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 As a young naive apprentice i was sent to the works store for a pound of traffic jam. I came back empty haded but wiser for it. Rites of passage. Happy Days! popT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afilsdesigne Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The best prank I ever saw was at BT. Everyone had to have a photo ID and one of the new lads has his 'doctored'. Quite unbeknown to him, some lag carefully cut out his photo and replaced it with a picture of a smiling Orang Utan (Monkey). The lad was oblivious of this and went to a branch of the Halifax to do a job. Needless to say all the girls behind the counter collapsed in fits of giggles and he went a similar shade of red to his picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slammindoor Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 First take an apprentice--thread a brush stale through the outstretched arms--apply a couple of wraps of sticky tape---it is a good idea at this stage to bind the legs together--then place the said apprentice face down in front of the clocking out queue--and listen to the industrial language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
