What happened here then?

[Binthere]

John, this trade don't let you leave mate. I retired 5 years ago but ex-colleagues have enticed me back in for a couple of days a week, it's a handy add-on to the pension.even though the government still take their cut before it hits my wallet.

I hope when I get out I stay out

 

[Binthere]

Even though I'm pushing 70 It's refreshing to interact with people who are in their early days with the trade and impart a little of my little Knowledge on - before I lose it entirely.

Ah the gangs all here well nearly all
Me personally I have been working away from home most of the year and never got the chance to get on the forum.
Hope everyone is well and keeping busy

Good to see you back Happy.

Happy is always looking in. I was hoping to get him over here with me but his Bahasa Malaysian is a bit ropey. The language here sounds like a drunken Glaswegian anyway so he might be ok

[happyhugenoet]

[Alan Reade]

Sh1t I have known him 43 years and never knew he had one let alone see it open!!

 

[Binthere]

Was there ever a wallet? or just a rumor?

Is there any other type of Glaswegian?

 

[happyhugenoet]

Yes but they generally grow up and move to Bearsden or bishopnriggs
BUT THEY HAVE NO HIDDEN WALLETS and no shame
