Confession time.
Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2017 10:16 am
Many years ago I used to listen to Radio 1 and on an afternoon they used to have a confession spot, I think it might have been on Steve Wright's show, but not sure.
I heard a couple of great confessions that have always stuck in the mind. Perhaps you might to confess your sins on here?
The first confession involved York Railway Station. A lady used to be a sales assistant in the cafeteria and she used to get fed up with train drivers coming in and blagging a pint of milk for the staff canteen. So she got some milk of magnesia (a laxative) and emptied a pint of milk and replaced it with the milk of magnesia, this was the days when you used to get milk in pint bottles. Sure enough the driver came in and she handed him the doctured bottle. Later that day British Rail had to apologise to train travellers, as trains had to be cancelled in the York area, due to a bout of unexplained staff sickness in and around the York area.
The second one, was a bloke who worked for a plant construction company that employed 300 people. The company was struggling and then they secured a Japanese order that would safeguard all their jobs. The bloke had 2 young boys and when he was driving them around he used to make high pitched car engine rev noises, especially when he was accelerating. Anyway the Japanese delegation was due to sign the order at this blokes plant and he was asked to go and pick them up from the airport. As he was approaching the plant, he realised that the whole journey he had been making these high pitched car engine rev noises. The Japanese rightly thought this blose who represented this company was bonkers, so when they got to the plant, they said they had changed their minds and wouldn't sign the order. As a result the company went bust and 300 people lost their jobs.
I will also confess to something horrific I did many years ago in a later post!!
