the fitter gave me the old fashioned type of sanitary towel with the loops. so i duly hooked it round my ears and had a go at spraying a massey Ferguson bonnet. you can imagine what i looked like. [/quote]

Oh i do hope it was a new one!

Sending the new scrote to get Tartan Paint was always a good one.

I used to work for a company making hydraulic rams etc. We once sent the YTS lad to the stores lady for some fallopian tubing.

What was worrying is when I was sitting eating a packet of Steak flavour crisps, and the wife says 'let me try one'. I replied 'but you hate beef crisps'. She replied 'yeah but they're steak, i might like them...'

dam74 the only thing with sending the new boys to the stores for sky hookes is they do exist ! the signals use them to hold cable ect to tree's and such like ;)

I always get a 'long wait' whenever I go to our stores for a 'left handed spanner'.

Have fun

When i'm after a cup of tea, i always ask one of my colleagues what letter comes after 's' in the alphabet - they respond 't' I respond 'yes please milk no sugar'

they're usually embarressed for falling for that one and go and make me a cuppa out of shame.

unfortunately i'm running out of work colleagues to try that one on

Dont know how true this is, sounded a bit iffy, though there is no reason it cant be true, anyway it may serve as a warning not to treat people as idiots because they're new to a job.....

One of my friends from my E&E eng course told me about something he said he saw once, an apprentice was told to go and get a glass hammer, he wasnt any fool so decided to teach his boss not to treat him like an idiot just because he was an apprentice.

He walked off to the office and phoned up a glass sculpture manufacturer and asked them to make a glass hammer, address it to him and charge it to the company, then came back and said that he couldnt find one, but when he had a minute he'd try again, a couple of days later he presented it to the boss along with the bill, didnt get messed with after that.....
