About 11am on the day, the area manager rang me he had turned up at my work, and asked where I was by this point I was already in the pub in town which he could hear, I told him that I was at the football, he said I had 30mins to get to work or face the sack ( I wasn't the best employee back then), and what was more important to me the company or City, I told him that if he was waiting for me to turn up then he would be waiting until the Tuesday as that was my next shift as he had more chance of pulling a silverback gorilla (drunken comedy ) out of his arse than me coming to work now. I had to find a new job..... WORTH IT!!!!
