Don't know if it's because i'm getting on in years or not, but it seems as though nobody at work has a laugh anymore. Having worked as a joiner on building sites for 24 years ( Oh my God, is it that long ), the one thing you could rely on to get you through the day was a laugh and a carry on with fellow workies. Those days i'm afraid are long gone.
Everyone seems to be walking about with their chins at their knees. I blame all the do-gooders and their rules.
No more radio's. Gone are the days were 40 guys would huddle round and listen to Simon Bates' 'Our Tune', wondering if the wee lassie would come out of her coma after being run over while on her way to pick up her sick granny's messages.
No eating or drinking on site . Never again will you see 120 empty irn bru bottles lined up against the wall ready to put towards the nerday carry oot.
No builders bum. No more fat hairy arse cracks to try and flick nails into.
No smoking. ( Don't mind that one actually )
And last but not least, no wolf whistling at women ( or men, if that takes your fancy )
Bet you even the women will miss that one !. Many a date I used to get with that one. Before I was married obviously...
Going to make it my mission tomorrow to have a laugh at work because any more days like today the job might actually get finishedon time, and we don't want that.....
