[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 401021, member: 16173"] There was no shortage of Parkas on the firm either - if you were a T&C guy, you wanted one you got one, The centre of the back of the van was just one thick mat of them. I couldn't for the life of me figure why two guys in a van needed so many. As the apprentice from the DO I wasn't due a Parka as I was only with them for the experience working my way round the different departments then back to the DO. A little later when as a 16 year old they felt I had mastered the whole chips for breakfast and pints of Hurlimanns I was let in on the secret. The first guy to pull got the room at the digs. The second guy got the back of the van with whatever he had managed to get hold of! About the same time we were on the QE2 Conference Centre in London and it was pi$$ing down. I was duly sent to the van to "get the Parkas". One size fitted all and I was told to "pick the best ones" aka the least crusty! I refused to wear them and went sick shortly thereafter! Happy Days!
