Sometimes the banter can be funny...

I've recently re-started eBaying professionally as I used to do about 5 years ago - but now on the bike, parcels have to be carried to work for courier collection or dropped off at a collection point on the way to work (very handy being on the bike actually as neither drop-off point has any car parking)

So the mule trailer is getting some use on my commute (bonus SCR points too with a trailer!!)

It was only a matter of time - after a few mornings of me booling my "cart" through the warehouse in my fingerless cycling gloves I did allow myself a chuckle as I was greeted with unison whistling of the Steptoe theme tune

t**ts!

See now I want to try and remember how the theme goes

It goes "doo doo doo de doo, doo doo doo de doo, doo doo doo".

Reminds me. One of the funniest things on telly is watching "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" intro round with the subtitles on.

Can never understand why they do it. Its not as though a deaf person could ever get the song from a bunch of onamatopeic subtitles, when they've probably never heard the song anyway.

Oh that could be hilarious!

Reminds me of many years ago when I worked in one of Coventrys big factories. One of the lads became a granddad, that evening he phoned one of his work mates and told him the good news, the following morning the whole section was waiting by the door when he arrived, and sang Clive Dunn's Granddad to him as he walked through the door.

I pretty sure I saw the episode were Harold comes up with a scheme to make his fortune by selling junk on eBay. It's going well until Albert "accidently" smashes his laptop and he can no longer access his auctions, or contact the beautiful Russian woman he'd met online.

I like workplace banter. I once had a 25 foot long five ton steel shaft roll off my flatbed trailer on a roundabout near Walsall. It wasn't funny at the time - it came very close to squashing someone's car and there's a dent in the road to this day - but the following morning when I got to work, three or four of the other lorry drivers serenaded me with "Rollin', rollin', rollin'" ... etc as I walked into the yard.

The workplace banter is the one thing I miss in retirement. I once filled the bosses car with petrol which didn't do his diesel engine a lot of good. From that day forward I was known as Diesel.
