I know an auld feller who likes to stagger between pubs - and can usually be found leaning sideways against the wall of the last establishment he patronised , while he awaits his chauffeur (any random person with a car and an hour to kill, who wants to earn a tenner the hard way).

I worked with an old Norfolk fellow , waistcoat , jacket and cloth cap.

We were doing a shitty job one day , not long after I had left school.

It was hot and back aching work.

He stood up ,shifted his cap , wiped his brow and looked me in the eye and said
