    Since you've twisted the arm...


    My fireman tale (it's a ramble!) As you know I am a teacher; I was working in a school where they held a meeting for parents of new admissions; all staff had to attend. It was, of course, not the most enthralling of chats and I started to gaze (discreetly) at this really hunky father...end of the head's rivetting talk and this dad stood up, looked at me and said 'Hiya Val' I did a rapid double take and realised he had worked at the refinery where I had worked ...recollected his name and said hello and had a chat (He always was a seriously good looking bloke, blue eyes, dark hair, tan...).
    Anyhow his offspring was joining Y3; I taught a Y4 class - and his niece was in my class.
    (Incidentally I wasn't the only teacher to have clocked him...the talk in the staffroom! - and they knew I knew him! Some of those ladies were MOST envious that we were on first name terms - but I digress...)
    He was working,he said , as a supermarket shelf filler having been made redundant (every little helps) but later that year his niece came upto me and said - "You know my Uncle **** don't you?" "yes" - "well", she said, "he's got a new job". "What as?" says I
    "A fireman"...I HAD TO SIT DOWN cos my legs went all wobbly! Looking like that AND in a fireman uniform - isn't life cruel...he was a lovely bloke too...
