Sitting in the restaurant & overheard conversation between two lads discussing their careers.
lad1 “I left that place”
lad2 “Why was that”
lad1 “I fucked the Boss’s wife in the portakabin…”
I wonder if that’s code? 🤔

Good morning lovely phone people. 1st early start of 26, for me as I head down south for the next 3 days. It’ll be a jolt after last week WFH.
I hope you all have the best Monday you can. I know some of us struggle so please take good care of yourself. All the best Grumps 😊

Although he doesn’t have any sauce 🤷🏻♂️
He also described the mustard as looking & sounding like diarrhoea, which was a little off putting tbh 🫤🤦🏻♂️
