I often think of the time I was "banged out" approx 1957.
After being tied to a trolly and wheeled through the factory, during which old tins of gunge were tipped over me, I was then tied by my wrists over a power shaft whilst standing on a work bench, my trousers and underpants were pulled down and a mixture of "bronze" blue and oil was then plastered around my parts! I was left there for what seemed a lifetime, but in fact it was the lunch hour. The worsed part I think was when they all came back from lunch including the women, oh I cannot discribe what I felt, particularly as I was going out with one of the girls at that time.
Anybody have anything like that happen to them?
