Fierce high jinx altogether…
Had a nice cycle in to work this morning. I was doing my usual rubber necking. I saw a really old sign that read “G Wallin & Co. Tin Box Makers”
I thought it was really cool and started to think about how jobs have changed over time… I was so lost in thought that I didn’t see the barricade in front of me…
I saw it as I was just about to hit it, so I managed to pull my brakes but I still did some involuntary somersaults & high jinks & circus tricks & my phalanges got crushed too.
I was kinda embarrassed peeling myself off the barricade and I looked up at the windows of all the flats lining the street but no one was looking out…
G.Wallin Was A Great Old Place To Work, The Place Was Full Of Characters And Skilled People, They Use To Supply All The Paint Companys With There Tins, And Jam Tins Too !!
It Was My First Ever Job, And Yes How The Years Have Changed, Luxory Appartments Not, But At Least They Left The Sign Alone !
As For Your Swandive, Shame It Was Not In The 80s, 3 1st Aiders On Site, And A Toolmaker And Welding Machine To Repair Your Bike !!!
Happy Days
