I was on a building site years ago ( in the days before I took such care of my nails & stuff ) when the foremans son came in, head down & obviously upset.There must have been 20 odd guys sitting around at tea break. The dad put his arm round his son's neck and in a deep but warm northern tone said.. " Aye, has she finished it son ? " "Aye dad, she has" replied the boy, wiping away the tears from his dust covered face. " HAA...UNLUCKY " he boomed, punching the boy in the belly.He walked of laughing, leaving his son humiliated in the middle of all the workers. " You've gone all soft " shouted the father " now back to work " I had to laugh, It couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow. Nette:)
