Great thread idea.
NL won’t like this, but when he was a younger man, labouring in H/west he actually fell for going to the local shop and asking for a leg of salmon.
Sorry mate, but I still laugh now when I think about it. |  |

Us older senile chaps must have a litany of them which thee days would lead to mayhem.
The biggest trauma I remember was walking through the Typing Pool at the Abbey Works.
The women were feral and being a good looking chap with firm buttocks and tight pants I would be been devoured -if there had been a God. [Post edited 20 Apr 2021 10:07]

Getting a box of sparks for the grinder and a trip to the post office for a washing machine licence used to be common once as were gentle (non-blue/non-hurtful) jokes that may be deemed offensive now?
Calling someone Paddy, Taff, Brummie, Scouse, Jock, Scrumpy etc. Maybe not so acceptable to some nowadays?
"Paddy and Mick trying and struggling to estimate the length of a flag pole, a builder walks past and they explain the problem.
The builder says “simple lads….. watch this”
The builder unbolts it, takes it down, lays it flat upon the ground and measures it.
Paddy and Mick react with immediate annoyance and disgust “Thick tw*t, stop wasting our time, we want to know the height not the length”. [Post edited 20 Apr 2021 10:44]

I started my working life in quarries and a favourite was the old “go to the fitting shop and ask Reg for the long weight” |  |

I never got sent for a long weight. I worked for a plasterer (my brother in law) who was constantly trying a wind up but he's not that bright, I spent a lot of time at the local burger van having coffee and he never twigged.He thought I was off looking for all this stupid stuff, until the site agent commented.
Building sites were wicked places in the early 90's. It's all H&S now though | |

The young uns always fell for it when you asked them to go and get the skirting board ladder |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
