Ladies / Gents,
In the credit crunch times when we're losing jobs , paying off staff , and bosses are generally scaling down and being tw++ ts !!!!!
Does anybody have a good story to tell regarding bosses who have " sympathised " with you being involved in the scene or better still, have THEY have been involved and you did'nt know ?
Was working for a major retail company in Edinburgh in the early 80's , the main honcho covering the north east including scotland appears for a months staff " clearout " and gets the three departmental managers together stating one job and 4 weeks to prove ourselves , I stand no chance as am only guy and two girls "involved " with line management . Head honcho staying in hotel near me and gives me a lift home , As we get into car he puts on cassette and apologises for the next 30 mins of music ,
Out blasts The Dynamics - Yes I Love You Baby !!!!!!!!!!, We talked everyday for a monthy about the journey home ,about records , swapped cassettes , people still on scene ,
Turns out he was a regular at Torch , Wigan and Leeds Central Soul , and turned a blind eye to my poor attendance record on mon morn due to nighters , etc ...
Yes , I know what you're all thinking , did I get the job ?
No !!!!!!!!!!!! , the git had an affair and went off with one of the girls !!!!!!
