Never seen a fight on a building site, but ill dip into the archives for an old tale of what i did see:
I remember when i was 17 and at 6th form i had a summer job "labouring" (I did very little actual labouring, by the way) near Piccadilly Station in Manchester.
Anyway, 1 lunch time i was working up a scaffold doing some god-forsaken task, i came down to eat with "the lads" when the foreman saw id left my paint stripper machine things buzzing away and told me to get back up there and switch it off.
So i climbed back up there, and switched it off and glanced down behind the wall i was working on (which was obscured from where we were eating Lunch) well bless my eyes what did i see? Only one of the builders from the site on his knees "servicing" 2 other lads from site. What struck me most of all was that one of the "standing" lads still had his hard hat on (you know, on his head)
Anyway i climbed down looking sheepish
"You alright? you look like you've seen a ghost, mate" Said one of the other part timers
"No, not i ghost" i replied "But i did see Chris on his knees on the other side of this wall, sucking Phil and Simon off"
"Oh for fucks sake!" cried the foreman, looking up from his paper "Not again!!.... CHRIS (shouting) CHRIS, for fucks sake, people can see!!!"
There was then a mad dash of people climbing up the scaffold to get a look, it was like planet of the apes the way some were climbing up.
great story - made me chuckle.....that chris must have had some front
