That must have been a really *h*t job George!
(Sorry, couldn't resist...)
It sort of fell between the two stools of Private Effluents and Public Squalor  |

My first (unpaid, but I didn't know that at the time) job involved cutting grass (and my thumb, first day) with a scythe, at an agricultural museum.

This is turning into a name-dropping thread  . I was once in a lift with Michael Tippett. I've met his mother, too. Since I've undoubtedly boasted about this before, perhaps people do know. Lowering the tone a little, I once stood next to Michael Tippett in a gents in Manchester... |

Strewth George! Is this the first time you've aired this particular fetish in public? I'm sure there are people out there to help with this sort of thing. Baz |
