doing light haulage I worked for a firm that employed only women , thhe boss warned me you will get some grief as he put it when you walk through , did nt know what to expect , sure enough half way through with a pallet truck one of the gals lifted her top and shouted ...woohoo what about some of this then ..I promtly shouted back yes Please theres a room over there (toilets) at that she pulled her top down and it all went quiet..never any problems after that..and soon as they got used to me it was happy days .

When I were a lad we never thought twice about knocking up a few tons of concrete by hand, if there was no mixer we just got on with it. Got a brikkie in atm doing variety of very small oddsnsodds, he wouldn’t use a barrow of muck in a day doing what he is and wants a mixer, looked at me like I was an alien when I told him to knock it up in a barrow

My best mate was mechanic at Laura Ashley, worked there since he left school in about 1980 ish until the uk factories closed, probably mid - late 90’s.

He was like a dog with 2 - you get the idea….

I turned down a job under similar circumstances at C&A 37 yrs ago , when I saw the delicious availability tempting me . I'd only just got married for the second time & had found my soulmate .
