whats all this black eye friday then is it a bit like the kids summer holiday for scaffolders up north???

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

Its from the days when Britain had a manufacturing industry dico. Whole cities would shut the factories for a week and the workers would have a well earned break.

 

[general manager]

If you come from the north you all took your buckets and spades and went to either Blackpool or Morecambe for a week of heaven or hell whichever way it took your fancy

 

[TEESSIDE SCAFFOLDER]

Remember when some firms use to shut down last week in july and first week in august.

Have not seen this for a while.

Every friday is black eye friaday in teesside.

And thats just the women.

Or if you came from London you took the family hop picking in Kent so you could earn while getting away from the city and the smog.
