Howmanheyman 43974 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I used to drink it pretty regularly but I was at work and it was gratis. Once I left the thought of paying for it just didn't sit right with me and I didn't usually drink it out of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an urban myth but I seem to remember my dad saying that They weren't officially entitled to a drink but no self-respecting pub landlord would not offer a drink and no self-respecting drayman would refuse such a kind offer so I believe? Loads would have at least one bottle or a cup during a shift, especially if you weren't driving. (After my first shift, getting changed in the locker room a couple of the old sweats asked if I liked broon ale? I said I could have the odd drop they then opened up a locker with a bottle in it and told me I could have it but not to leave 'a dead soldier'*. I thought briefly, is this a trap and I'm sacked on the first day or more likely a test of trust, I quickly decided it was the latter and necked the bottle and about ten years later at a leaving drink when it shut one of those old sweats who was there, who was basically the Geordie 'Columbo' said, 'We knew you were alreet on your first day when you had that bottle, Davey son' (He didn't say 'one more thing' which was a shame). *Dead bottle = leaving an empty or part empty bottle instead of getting rid of the evidence. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 42163 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I think the draymen having a drink at each pub was probably less bad when they were still actually using horses, mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was usually two of them. I wasn't one but I know a couple of lads that moved down there, think their depot was near Washington iirc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCR 28 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 At our local brewery, all the workers were allowed 2 bottles a day. When we were doing building work there ,we were allowed 2 bottles as well. Had a cupboard full of brown ale when we finished working there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 12581 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Worked for a company that did market research in the booze industry. They had people travelling all over the world talking to producers, distributors and the like. Always came back with bottles of spirits and wines. Every Friday was basically a piss-up after lunch. Your first Friday is traditionally a baptism of firewater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
