Hallamton   10 #40 Posted May 1, 2009 Nice bump!  I used to ask staff for a tin of elbow grease.  Either that or send them into the chiller for "legs of salmon" or "salmon thighs" etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yog Sothoth   10 #43 Posted May 1, 2009 When my dad was an apprentice they held him down and smeared his testicles with Fluxite.  I worked at Poundstretcher warehouse in Leeds once and they bound and gagged a lad with parcel tape, put him in a big box, taped it up, and loaded it onto a wagon going to Glasgow! The driver let him out on the M6 near Carlisle after hearing noises from his trailer at the service station! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

nicam   10 #47 Posted May 13, 2010 well i didnt start it this was going on long before i got there i didnt like it but was glad when a new lad started because they would leave you alone and pick on him the out going apperentice always went with the new lad when it was his turn i never did anything just watched the new lad got his own back when another apperentice started it just went on like that there were a few ring leaders not me who always looked forward to a new lad none of them were gay they just used to have a good laugh about it and take the **** the guys in some other units sent there lads over for a laugh as well i left there last year and as far as i know this is still going on poor lads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
$nob   10 #48 Posted May 14, 2010 I once left a message on someones desk, in a busy office, to phone Mike Oxhard urgently, oh how we laughed, we really did!! We really did have a Mick Hunt at British Steel and a tiny young secretary was asked to go to the sales office to see if anyone had seen him.
