'Wear clean underwear in case you're hit by a bus'
Cheers mum.
If I got hit by a bus I'd probably sh1t myself anyway.
Oh, and I once got told off for finishing off the apples. The maternal rant ended :-
'They don't grow on trees!!!'
Thank God she lives 250 miles away now.

Dont ask someone how much they earn

As a green 16 year old in my first job....first day...gulp...what do you talk about in this new world.

'So...how much are you on an hour' i rather naively asked the guy they put me with.

'Thats my business' was the instant retort

...oh....i wont be doing that again then

Yeah, big mistake I was given a big lump of smoked salmon with the words " get that ready for our dinner lad " ( it was dinner at midday in those days ) so I fried it!!!

Stop doing that or it'll drop off or was that just me.....

I say that to my youngest now. That and 'take your finger out of your nose or your head will cave in' seem to be popular.

I recall being introduced to someone in my first job and shook their hand but remained sitting down (I was at a computer terminal at the time). My then boss came back and said 'next time I introduce someone to you stand up and show them some respect'. He was right and I do.
