Posted By Andrew Cartridge Whilst talking to an old colleague who is now a scaffolder, he told me that very recently he & his mate were working for a farmer in the welsh hills, & as the weather was hot he asked the farmer for a cup of tea for him & his mate, the farmer duly obliged. Now, my mate being used to working in them there hills thought the tea tasted ok, but his mate being a “townie” said to the farmer that he thought that it tasted strange. The farmer explained that there was no mains water in the area, & all the water comes from the well & is piped through to the farm. The farmer then went on to explain that the well is fed from the stream that runs through the field, pointing up he stream & commenting “you see that stream, the one with the dead sheep in it!” Needless to say, flasks were taken for the rest of the job. Regards Andy

Posted By Andrew W Baaah Cartridge. Always one to come up with a wolly story for Friday. Fancy the Farmer admutton to that. Seems a bit of a lamb excuse for just not drinking the tea. Maybe he just put his foot where his mouth should be. They should have just rammed it down. Maybe the sheep wern't dead at all and had just rolled over a cattle grid and were resting. (see Seamus's cattle grid thread):-)

Posted By Adam Worth http://www.bbc.co.uk/hea...ssinjury_diarrhoea.shtml Our firewall won't let me read that but I think it covers drinking tea when the water's dodgy. I also agree with above comment on digestion, my friends water comes from the finest of Devon springs - (Via an asbestos tank and lead pipes no doubt :) ) Every time I drink it neat I regret it - I always drink it neat tho cus I ain't no city boy :) (It's not as bas as his slow gin mind (finding a maggot made me feel a tad off colour... or was that just half a pint of slow gin???)

Posted By Andrew Cartridge But Graham How do you tell a Stoat from a Weasel? Simple A Weasel is weasely recognised, whilst a Stoat is stoatally different. Back in me straight jacket Andy

Posted By Steve Cartwright A mate of mine was peeing in a stream. A policeman spotted him whilst in the act. The policeman stated that he could do him for polluting the water. My mate replied its already polluted. The policeman said how do you know? My mate replied I've peed in it before.
