50th anniversary - end of NCT trolleybuses

It’s not always the men who are the ‘guilty’ parties on these occasions. I’ve heard horrendous stories from a chap who worked as a sewing machine mechanic in a predominately female environment. A male hairdresser I once knew used to do home visits to style ladies hair. Some of the tales he told were hair raising! I’ve been compromised on a couple of occasions by married women but, as they used to say in the News of the World, ‘I made an excuse and left’. :biggrin:

I’m utterly fed up with hearing about all these ridiculous and mostly historical claims from the sad ‘me too’ brigade of middle-aged/old women who no doubt lapped it up at the time of the ‘offence’.

I can corroborate the stories about Cooper and Roe. They were clients of the accountants where I worked many years ago. It was always an embarrassing experience to walk through the workrooms full of women. It was the same at Prew Smith Knitwear.

My ma would always catch a trackless, think that's because she could remember travelling on trams, which of course ran on 'tracks/rails'.
