Whistle while you work?

[ToughButterCup]

Its an ill wind that blows nobody any good: Covid-19 has brought a flurry of building activity and trades folk to our door looking for work. 

Everyone is welcome.

On site the other day: plumber, tiler, chippy, BCO, plasterer - all working  in their own safe areas.

 

And everyone (except the BCO) either whistling or singing loudly.  The chippy was first to notice it ............... The plasterer's singing. It was worse than Billy Connelly p i s s e d out of his skull.

 

Its was so bad that, like moths to a flame, one by one, we all gathered indoors to listen.

Shhhh, shhh, shhhaaaa dup.....: we tried to stop ourselves laughing

Phones out, recorders ON ,  we listened and recorded in communal horror. The volume of his singing was deafening. Maybe he's partly deaf?

 

Chippy:   Eh Dave (plasterer) That plaster comes from Finland dunnit.... 

 

Plasterer face to the wall bobbing and weaving like a goodun: Aye, 'appen - good stuff Carlite Finish - didn' know it was Finnish though  - 

 

Four of us clutching our withers in suppressed laughter - plasterer facing the wall has no idea he has an audience.

 

Plasterer ..........la la la, whatcha goin to do abart it whatcha gonna do ---  lal la la da da.. whatcha gonna do - do bbeee dobe dooo boop bee doop?

 

Chippy : You can tell trades who work on their own can'tcha Dave? Singin's  fekkin awful 

 

Plasterer turns round, sees his audience : shocked look on his face - four of us phones held high recording the caterwalling.

Do Carling Finish Plaster reeely cum from Finland then?

 

Yeah mate we all reply. 

YOU BAR STEWARDS.........

Well at least you don't have to put up with the local Morris dancing crew, jangling and squeeze box, practising all day in the garden next door but one! Quiet today though - maybe the pro boxer next door has had words!
