Bucket of Steam
Garage Joe Back in the early seventies I took my first summer job, gardening at the local hospital. The first day they sacked one of the porters, and I was suddenly a porter earning pretty decent money for a student. During the first week someone 'phoned and asked if I could bring a Monkey Bar to Ward 8? I thought that I wasn't going to get taken in by that so did nothing. Next day I was hauled before Matron for an interview without coffee, where she explained that next time the ward sister requested... [ more ]
