Thread: True story..honestly

Yes revenge is sweet. Many years ago I worked on the building sites when I left school. One day the foreman came into the canteen and read us the riot act over something or other. We or some of those there probably deserved it as the foreman was generally easy going. Well the gauntlet was thrown down and revenge was in the air. It was noted that at morning tea break the foreman went into the toilet cubicle with a newspaper and read it in peace and quiet while doing his "business". The aforementioned cubicle was a metal affair bolted to a concrete base. The plan for revenge was put into action. The bolts on the cubucle were removed. Next morning when the foreman went in to settle down to his read and "business" the cubicle was lifted up via straps fitted to the roof by a JCB. I can still remember the look on his face when the cubicle was lifted and swinging gently in the air above his head. Yep, I learnt a lot on the building site.

As I was the smallest person on the site, just out of school, they used to put me down the manholes with a flashlight to check things. After the above "incident" I was duly sent down a manhole but the lid was closed and there I sat for the day. Fair enough at lunch time he did pass me down my sandwiches and flask! Yep they were fun times on the site, never a dull moment, especially when you were young and no mortgage or car loan!
