Re: Funny work story
Oh dear old Stone .I went there once on some course about number of calls waiting display at a BT exchange. Something to do with setting it all up I vaguely remember. never came to anything back at my yard in Surrey.Re: Funny work story
Another time a pal and me in a vauxhall viva van each we had a job at what was John Jacobs golf centre at Sandown race course. As you go into Esher you go into a one way system, or used to be. So there we were "erm racing" side by side but at the end of the one way road was a policeman. So he waved us down and being "norty" we said we had an emergency and he let us go.Re: Funny work story
