Widnes Two Hats Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Perscription drugs All the women at work are on something, Tramadol is one of my favourites, can't remember the last day I worked not off my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widnes Two Hats Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I used to work for Shop Direct which meant I could buy anything in the Catalogues for cost price, this worked out about 50% discount on clothing and about 75% on jewellery. It got to the point that I had to stop ordering as I had about 150 pairs of adidas Gazelles in my loft as I could buy them for about £25 Edited December 24, 2016 by Widnes Two Hats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 24, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2016 Used to work for the company that owned Mentho Lyptus When I was down in the office I could buy a "damaged" box for 50p - like 20 packets or so Absolutely fucking addicted to the Extra Strong ones ever since. Always got some with me Hall's? I went to their 100th Anniversary celebration. Flying Scotsman hauled train from Manchester Victoria to Chester. Meal out in a big hotel then back on same train.

Members bolty58 Posted December 25, 2016 Members Share Posted December 25, 2016 Because I'm a hard barstard last time some greasy c*nt carved me up with a glass (me, washing it with a crack in) I took my own stitching out using a pair of nailclippers, electrical pliers and witchhazel. Beat that, Bolty. Stubbed me big toe Thursday an almost ripped the nail completely off. Hurt like fuck and blood all through the house. Clumsy bastard. Will that do?

Big City Girl Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 When I started with Bolton Council, early 90's, I used to deal with all the Sub-Contractors. One Christmas I had about 20 bottles of wine/spirits, 4 bottles of perfume, vouchers and all sorts. They stopped it after a few years and now you are not allowed to accept gifts. Last year I had to meet one of the Contractors in the car park so he could pass me a bottle of wine. This year, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
