JJ Cash was in Cash's Lane when I was there, from 1978 to 1982. After leaving there, I worked in the County Court in Warwick Row for two years.

Ahh a fellow LCD employee. My first job was at the County Court in Scunthorpe in 1978. The daily balance and weekly payout still haunt me.

the Locum Doctor should still be in the 6th form

The Doctor is about half the age of TheDoctor!! It's just wrong.

Indeed, Bromptonaut, I was put on the Debt Payments counter shortly after training on the busiest day of the month, - the last Friday.

Surprise, surprise, we did not balance - to the princely sum of £10 (well it was 1982). Just my luck that the auditors were in that week!

Well it was very lucky, the Boss was an absolute tyrant, he would have had my guts for garters! The auditors took it very calmly, starting off the interview with, "We know you would not put your job on the line for £10, so we are not even going to discuss that."

The Chief Clerk was beside himself with ill-concealed rage, but could not intervene cos the Auditors were dealing with it.
All my colleagues commented how lucky that was.

I think when you start praising the BBC and the licence fee system you're on the road to OAPdom ...

'gawd bless the beeb' this is why i pay my licence fee and have no quibbles

The Chief Clerk was beside himself with ill-concealed rage, but could not .

We has one a bit like that as well, though he was almost human when discussing the football pools. My problem was not being £10 real pounds short but having no facility for mental arithmetic. The Chief Clerk Mr Smith (nobody dared called him Bill!) could cast a column of figures just runnig a pencil down the side of them.

a) puts on underpants. Looks around. Sees another pair of underpants on the bed. Put second pair of underpants on. Put jeans on. Wonder if jeans have shrunk or I've put on weight.

raid the Kid's dresser first thing in the morning, looking for socks. Butt-naked. If the Kid's boyfriend had taken a peek he'd probably have surmised that his girlfriends mother might be losing her marbles, but her bum is just perfect...

I walk into a room for something and forget what it was.

I lose stuff but when Im looking for something else some other item missing for months turns up.

The latest being my AC adaptor for my Leonovo Laptop has mysteriously gone missing.

No worries I have ordered another off of ebay so it should turn up soon.

When we went away at the weekend we took a flask of tea with us - we'll be parking in lay-bys, to drink it, next to a big pile of gravel before too long...

I need constant supervision... I wish I had it!!

You have to have some deck chairs and a tartan rug to cover your legs whilst you sit in them having your tea.
