Things you don't hear, see, do or say in the work place any more.

3 or 4 pints EVERY lunchtime in the company club/bar ON SITE. Fantastic! People used to moan even then and hark back to the good old days before the company got so strict.

 

Boomtown Rats - I don't like Mondays

 

My first job was for the local health authority and we worked flexible hours. The flaw in that was they used to let us fill in our own time sheets I reckon I had a day off nearly every month by adding an extra 15 minutes here and there.
We also had use of the hospital social club so myself and a mate would weekly go and have a game of snooker and a few pints at lunchtime. Except on a Friday when, it seemed, all the hospital staff including doctors and nurses would descend on the bar for a couple of hours. I can honestly say I wouldn't have wanted to be a patient on a Friday afternoon!!

 

Thanks, now I can think again

It was in the works place.
Where the wife works someone had a written warning for saying I'm off to the chinkies.

I got a bit off a Bollicking in my last school for calling it a black mans pinch, when i caught my fingers between two tables. The funny thing was the teacher in the class was Called Jafta a gert big native south africian and when i explained to him what it meant and it was a local saying, he had a good laugh about it. Its only us whites that seem to take offence.
