Stupid things you have done whilst away working

Come across foreign lorry driver, asking for directions. No probs we said follow us. Short while later, my mate driving said, will he fit under that railway bridge? I said, suspect he’ll know.........oops perhaps not. While we rang Network Rail, he rang his boss, who sacked him.

My Father had an "adventure" through no fault of his own many years ago, during WWII he was on a ship that docked in Casablanca but another Polish crew member had an argument with the Captain who then decided to throw all the Polaks off the ship (my Father was a stoker/motorman) the ship sailed off and they spent two weeks partying in Casablanca, the ship was torpedoed a while later.

silly captain then. if he'd had the Polaks on board, the Krauts would not have needed to waste a $500 torpedo..

Ahhhh but he did work on one of the last ships bringing back British POW's from Japan, if they had did their job properly then he would have been home much earlier.
