Lurid Work Stories"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."
Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

Yeah, but...Shit soldering irons come without the holders (in this instance, seeing as the term 'bench' is used it probably wasn't shit) so you either had to lie them on something, or like what I did, store them tip-up in a mug.
