Catching Someone With Their Fingers In The Till

[Dave7]

Years ago.............when the Mersey Tunnel tolls were handed to one of the guys in the kiosk, they were playing "3 for you-1 for me". When the scam was uncovered many of the guys were found to have 2nd houses in Spain and other such luxuries.
And before you ask..............NO!!! I remember reading it in the Liverpool Echo.

Didn't our heroic Op describe catching them at it? Is that not proof, or did he dream it?

The owners took the word of the manager & assistant manager over mine(two against one).
Me refusing to wanting to be involved in cashing up at the end of the day or taking money to the bank was given as me being awkward.

I'm aware that "my signature" appeared on some slips & paperwork, which is why a different pen was used afterwards by me.

The turnstile operators at West Ham football ground used to operate a two for one and a half policy back in the seventies. You could just about squeeze two slimly build fans into one gate as the turnstile clicked round.

There are a lot of bus drivers who are glad there aren't many inspectors about nowadays.

Entry to all-ticket Derby games at Liverpool was available by presenting the turnstile operative with a crisp £1 note.

And who can forget The Fat Controller?

there was a chap who organised Bristol zoo overflow cae parking. Price was reasonable and it was all pretty slick. He then retired abroad or whatever. The zoo people enquired to the council why the overflow car park wasn't being manned and hence the council were losing money. Oh, we assumed you'd been doing that - we're nothing to do with that.

Over 15 years he'd trousered a substantial 6.figure sum

.... which is the reason why you can no longer 'buy' a ticket on a London bus, it's all Oyster cards these days

Mr Gorsky isn't true, but its still a very funny story.

Absolutely shocking.








People in Liverpool can read ?

Back in the day, clients of mine were going round a large commercial building they'd just bought, doing an inventory. They opened a door down in the basement to discover three or four blokes lying around on sofas and easy chairs, tea & biscuits, card games and papers, the whole bit. "Who are you?" said one of them. "We're the new owners of the building; who are you?" they responded. "We're BT," said one of them. "Sorry?" "We're BT. This is the BT room." Turned out BT engineers had discovered this spare room many years earlier, and had kittted it out with soft furnishings, telly, kettle, fridge, the whole bit, and when they had a spare hour or two, they'd come down and chill. They were most indignant at the news that there was actually no such thing as 'the BT room' - or at least, there wouldn't be from now on...
