A helping hand

[mickg]

This is a story about the bond formed between a little girl and a
group of building workers. It's allegedly true and might help to confirm your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human
race....................


A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot.

The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all
the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers.
She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold,
more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They
chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch
breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel
important.


They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled
her immensely.

At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a
pay envelope - containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took
her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the
bank the next day to open a savings account.
At the bank, the female cashier was tickled pink listening to the little
girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she
had a 'pay packet'.
'You must have worked very hard to earn all this', said the cashier.
The little girl proudly replied, 'Yes, I worked every day with Steve and
Wayne and Mike. We're building a big house.'

'My goodness gracious,' said the cashier, 'And will you be working on the
house again next week?'
The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously:



































'I think so. Provided those w**kers at Jewsons deliver the f***ing
bricks......

the old ones are the best
still makes me chuckle

we did a job and had to put a bandstand on next doors grass for about 6 hours to finish a gable
I asked permission and it was granted grudgingly

the bloke kept coming out and bleating on about his windows/grass/sky dish

anyway the upshot was at quarter past eight the next morning him his missus and their little girl came trooping out
the little girl pipes up
"look at the state of our f*&^ing lawn,who is going to pay for that?"
i looked at the dad and he ran back in the house
I wonder what they could have been talking about at breakfast?
there was nothing wrong with the lawn just a bit flattened,TBH they could have done with cleaning up the infinite piles of doggy doo all over their patio

we laughed all day after that
LLL

Me and a few friends were on a Mountain Bike Ride that ended up going through what can only be described as a rough council estate. Deciding that there was safety in numbers, we all rode together through the estate. We were nearly through when we say 3 young lads riding rusty, beat-up, old bikes. They must have only been 6 or 7 years old.

As we approached, one of the lads pipes up, in a broad Yorkshire accent, "Here, Mister, Give us a go on your bike".

To which my mate replied nicely "Its a bit big for you dont you think"

The little urchin retorted.... "ITS IT F**K... I CAN EASILY RIDE THAT F**KING BIKE!!"

It had us in sticthes the rest of the ride!!!
