Irish drinkers from 1972....


Recommended Posts


That young lad saying about driving drunk and smashing into cars reminded me of my first job at 15 on a big council housing development in Rotherham with a big Irish firm doing all the ground works. A big Irish fellow who drove a JCB was nick named only the lonely when i asked why they called him that one of the Irish lads told me that previos he had gone to the pub in his JCB and had a skin full and on coming out some one had blocked him in so he moved the car with the JCB causing damage and the police came and arrested him and when up in court the magistrate asked him why he did it and his excuse was i was arfull lonely sir. Lol

I worked with a load of Irish lads in the early 80s lunch times they would just chuck tenners over the bar and tell the landlord to let them know when it had ran out on one trip back to the job they rolled the car in a ditch then as we all climbed out the only door working my mate slammed it behind him as the next lad was trying to haul himself out took the fingers off him lol
