Now I know I do go on a bit about having a job is’nt all about high wages etc, The just going to a work place can bring a lot of happy day’s No matter what you do for a living,
Now one of the greatest people i ever knew was my late father-Law,
He’d worked for many years in a hospital for the people suffering mental health issues,
He lived in Northern Ireland and at the time I’d just left the Army and we bought a house in North-Wales,
Dad would come over when ever he could and stay for a week or two and when I was home (ie long distance driving) We both liked nothing better than going for a walk with the dog and having a man to man talk, Dad had a way of making you laugh with his true to life stories,
This one day we we’re walking along a country path with a nice small river to the side of it, I asked how work was going, He said did i ever come into contact with the royal family and I said yes on a few occasions we did security duties,
He said we had at very short notice that one of the royal family was coming to visit our Hospital,
“Well he said” you have seen nothing like it, we we’re all given new gutties (plimp soles) and white uniforms and even told to smile if this Lady came into contact with any of us, But dont look her in the eye’s they dont like it,
We all thought “Lady DI” or maybe princess Anne !!
The day arrived and this young (looked about 20yrs) walked into the ward, Nobody new who the hell she was, She was a distant member of the Royals But that was as far as it went,
Dad & his long time mate we’re told to stand by the small dinner table,& move the knives & forks about,
Now Dad’s friend was a known laugh a minute man, As this Member of the lost Royals was about to find out,
She started to walk along looking at the beds etc it was noticed one patient was sitting in bed “Masturbating himself” Well all hell in silence was taking place, one young nurse was trying to do the 3 minute race down to the far end of the ward to get a mobile screen on wheels to put around the bed ,& pay royal repsects, & trpping over her ow feet and smile at the Royal all at the same time,
The Posh visitor spotted this man and as she was being forced as nice as could be done past his bed her head kept in line with him and she suddenly asked, “What’s that man doing?”
Dad’s friend replied, ( He’s having the time of his life Mam,)
Well just about everyone there burst out laughing or choking at the answer given,
Dad said to me you know some of the patient’s seem to be made in a different mold to the rest of us, they have bigger feet & this man had a COCK like a Donkey,
During the staffs meal break laughter filled the canteen
, And her Lady ship ? Well she had something to tell the Queen,
