You worked during the tea break. You 983

jobs in 20 years. You more and wider

industrial experience than any 50

handpicked professional layabouts. And

you you work in the tea break,

the sacred moment of the working day.

You, sir, have defiled a time on a

tradition ridden rough shot over a

hard-earned right which has played its

part in determining Britain's position

in world industry.

Pardon?

>> You worked during the tea break.

>> They all did. They all did, Mr. Wickard.

They all did.

>> Be that as it may, the fact still

remains that you of all people.

and they wouldn't listen to me. One

minute we're all working away at our

machines, printing away. They print some

lovely things at Coopers. Great big

posters. One saying life is better with

our lot all in red. Then the other

poster saying, "Oh, no it ain't." All in

blue.

Then they do the things what go inside

the Christmas crackers, you know.

Q.

Hey, of course the ado had the rank

and then they do the labels what go on

Get naughty.

Then there's one fellow. He's printing

menus for a cafe down the road. Another

one's printing his own raffle tickets.

There's another bloke here doing Irish

sweep steak tickets. But it was all

right. Of course it was perks.

>> So you joined them.

>> Well, I couldn't beat them. And suddenly

I remembered there was something I

wanted printing.

So I went to this big new shiny machine

all the levers and they reckon I'll have

it mended and going again in a month.

>> That's it. Well, that's what what it

>> That's it. I give up.

>> Mant.

If at first you don't succeed,

do it some more.

>> For another 20 years, you must be out of

your mind. I've had enough of you. And

I'm not having any more. And it's not

only me. It's them.

>> Them? Who's them?

>> Them upstairs. They had me up yesterday.

They've worked it all out, you know. Did

you know that in 20 years they have paid

you an unemployment benefit the grand

total of £1,77610

shillings and they want to know what

you've done with it?

>> Tell them I spent it.

>> Tell them I bought myself a chromium and

pleated yacht.

Tell them I set up a hair room in Stoke

Newton full of ladies and I squandered

the rest of it on prone cocktails at the

Seavoy.

They want to come out from behind their

southern region season and tickets and

join the human race.

>> I got a lot of overheads. You know

>> what overheads?

>> What is the union for a start off?

That's £3 a week.

here. You're a member of everyone.

>> The border maker. Yes. Fully paid up.

>> But why? Of

union ticket.

>> But you can't keep a job with one.

>> But you got to get a job before you lose

it.

>> But isn't your union supposed to prevent

you losing your job?

>> Exactly.

Exactly.

Any trouble, straight to the shop,

steward.

>> Then why do you keep getting the sack?

>> I'm never in a job long enough to meet

the shop steward.

>> Then why in the hell do you pay all

these union subscriptions?

>> Cuz you can't get a job without a union

card.

>> You're a pure oil, petty fogging,

pulsating little parasite.

>> Pardon?

>> You're victimizing me. That is a

victimized inauguration and I shall

report you to my union.

>> Which union?

>> Oh, we love them.

>> The union elections, the allied trees,

the transport and general workers union,

national union, arid work, the printers

union. Which union are you in?

>> The clerical and office.

[Music]

Right, let's get round to number 10.

>> I've said it before, but so help me.

This is the last time I will ever say

it. If you muck this one up, don't come

back here. Because if you do, I'll stuff

you right up that stove pipe.

>> You can't do that.

>> Why not?

>> You're not a member of the boiler maker

union.

>> Get out of it.

May please hold please. I'm putting you

Just get along the corridor. Second on

the left.

>> Thank you, Maurice Wiggin.

And Philip Per, you wasted 10 minutes of

my time and 10 minutes of the firm's

time. It's people like you who get the

laborers of this land held in ill

repoot. I should report you two to Mr.

Titelin.

>> You can tell him what you like. That was

our tea break. And we don't work in our

tea break.

>> No. And if you think you're going to

come here and work through a tea break,

you better think again. The union had

you out before you could say dusty

Springfield.

>> Oh, don't

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Girl, what is it? What's up? What's the

matter? What's happened? What do they

want this time?

>> I'm Charles Drake, a casual laborer of

Wbridge, fully paid up member several

times to each according to his needs,

from each according to his abilities.

And I won't work in a tea break. You're

going to enjoy it here. You know, we've

got it all here. Yes. 5 day week

superanuation, four weeks holiday with

pay, family allowances, traveling

allowances, clothing allowances. Oh,

yes. Profit sharing, representation on

the board of management, canteen

facilities, restroom facilities,

recreational facilities. Oh, it's great

here. To each according to his needs,

and from each according to, as he damn

well feels like.

You against the unions, nin?

>> Oh, no, no, no. What have I said? No,

no, no, my dear fellow. No, of course

not. I I think the unions are a

magnificent organization.

>> You can't fight us, you know.

>> Oh, I don't I wouldn't. No. I I was one

of the first to go under to have them

here.

>> Wasn't some very long ago before they

were stuffing their little boys up the

chimney pots, you know.

>> Yes. No. Quite disgraceful. I spoke

against it at the time. How would you

like to think about your children down a

coal mines pushing those coal trucks

with a bare feet now?

>> Oh yes, I know. Of course they are at

school at the moment, but the holidays

are coming up and I expect we'll be able

to

>> look what Israeli did to the checkers of

black pudding makers.

There they were with their banners of

Kimbo. And

what's that then? Oh. Oh. Oh, that's the

rings of Banderanika. Yeah, I got them

from my man in Harley Street. You see,

I've not been I went to see him. You

see, he gave it me. They do it, you

know, the monks in the Banderanika

monastery in Nepal. Only theirs is much

bigger than ours. They've got 64 rings

on theirs. You do it like this. You see,

you pick one off there and you put it on

one of the other ones. You see, but you

mustn't put a bigger one on top of a

smaller one. Uh and then in the end you

end up with all the rings exactly as

they are in that pile on that pole

there. Takes some time but it's very

good for the nerves.

>> Only

it's very good but I don't think the

monks would like it. You and you've got

to get them all back on there.

Well,

yes, that's very good. Now, I don't

think the man in Harley Street would

like it very much, though. The way he

explained it to me, you see, you've got

Oh, there's the center pole. Yes, you've

got to get them all on the center pole.

[Laughter]

Did you hear that?

>> What?

>> Nothing.

Nothing.

>> You sure you're going to the right

bloke, mate?

>> It's all gone quiet. They thrown the

switches. They've thrown the switches

again.

>> It's no good, Mr. Chin. I can't budge

him. It's all Bosskins in the paint

shop. What's his dirty money?

>> But he doesn't get dirty since I put the

new machines in.

>> Oh, that's hardly his fault, is it? Do

you imagine that I can afford to put in

£40,000 worth of new machinery because

I'm going to save £25 shillings dirty

money from Bill Hoskins? Do you think

that I could go to the board of

management and say, "Look, gentlemen, we

can afford £40,000 on new machinery

because I am going to pinch 25 shillings

out of Bill Huskkins pay package."

>> As a matter of fact, we do. And we think

it's a dumb saying that you should

retaliate in his eye and hand it

fastened to our legitimate demands.

>> Very well. I'll put the old machines

back again. For would you rather I hired

a small boy to throw paint at him.

>> Thank you very much. I will pass your

remarks on to the men.

>> What am I saying? No, no, no, no, Mr.

Parker. Please, no, don't do that. It's

just a mistake. I I'm rather upset, you

see.

>> It's no good. I thought we could discuss

this like two reasonable men, but your

attitude leaves me no alternative.

>> Just a moment, brother.

You're out of order.

>> Who the hell are you?

>> Charles Drake, casual labor wage. Fully

paid up member many times.

[Applause]

Did you see Bonanza last night?

>> No.

>> Oh, that Oscar rides a bigger, didn't

he? He thumped a lot last night down

here. Landed him up on our living room

carpet. Thump. Oh, made my ear ache.

>> But he didn't really hit him, you know.

Didn't really hit him. And he sort of

goes like that and just stops.

>> What are you talking about? I heard the

thump.

>> That's done with sound effects. You see

the noise you heard come from behind the

camera? That was Little Joe thumping old

man car.

>> Little Joe wasn't in it last night.

>> That's why we thumping the old man.

[Laughter]

I prefer bambber gas coin.

>> Bambber gascoin.

Oh,

>> I'd uh rather not talk about bambber

gascoin if you don't mind.

>> Why not? He seems a very nice chap to

me.

>> Oh, be that well as it may be.

>> Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Have you heard something?

I'm saying no more.

>> Well, you know Pinky and Percy.

>> Yes.

They're worked by a couple of chipians.

You wouldn't think so from the front,

would you?

>> What about Bambber Gascoin?

If there is anything we as viewers have

a right to know

as a mate of mine like this on the show

on the show on Bambber's show he's the

captain of the upper graduates on the

top there and suddenly Bambber said

here's a question for the burner at a 30

and he winked winked only and he went to

my mate for give me to win the rascal

so he turned to the fellow on his right

and said, "Watch it. Chess members only

give me the wink." You see?

So he said when he asked a question,

"Dong your buzzer. Pass it along." And

he passed it all along. But they got a

bit of an idiot on the end. And he

passed it down to the undergraduate.

And he passed it along. And you got four

upper graduates and four undergrads all

sitting down with a finger stuck up in

the air.

Baba said, "Here's the question for the

benefit of the 30.

If you had a reticule,

would you massage it,

smoke it,

cook it, or stuff it up your nose?

And they all dong their buzzes at the

same time.

What do you mean I'm out of order?

>> Exactly what I said.

>> You forgot the 1962 negotiations on the

redistribution of the dirty money Scarra

Hall

18th of December.

>> What have I said

now? Wait a minute, brother. Wasn't that

rescended at Blackpool last year?

>> Oh, indeed it was rescended, but the

rescendant was declared null and void on

a recount. And when the question was

put, it was defeated on a show of hands

by 26 million votes to 14,

which means that you're out of order.

And Bill Oskin stands about as much

chance of getting his dirty money as

Bernard Leven at an Emperorio stagnate.

>> Is he right?

>> I'm afraid he is. Ha, splendid that

splendid news. Right, darling. You go

down and tell them in.

>> I said, Ko, I've got a wife and six kids

to think of. You want to see that lot

down there? They are baying at the time

clock. You go and tell them.

>> Not my department. You're the spokesman.

You brought the problem up. You take the

answer down.

>> I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll make a

bargain with you. I'll face the men. You

tell Billins.

>> Me? Me? Tell Bill kids after what he did

to me last time.

>> Oh, come on. That were 40 years ago. He

changed a bit since then, you know.

>> How do you know? Nobody's been down

there since then.

>> Oh, well, you can't blame him, can you?

Not after what he did to you last time.

I'll tell you, I'd rather go three

rounds with us. Cartright.

>> Well, I'm not going to tell him.

>> Well, I'm not going to tell him.

>> Somebody's got to tell him.

Hey losing your dirty money.

No, Bill's got me in the paint shop. Get

in the shop. Ste,

[Music]

>> have you been loving him?

>> That's right, Sunny. How very nice of

you to come down to see me. Do you know

something? I ain't had nobody down here

to see me in 40 years.

>> Yeah, but they're all afraid. They told

me that you were all terrible and and

what did you do to Mr. Chitty?

>> You'd have laughed. You see where that

pipe comes up through the floor there,

don't you? Well, that used to be the

barrel spiker. 4 foot long and red pull

up straight through the bottom of the

barrel. Well, anyhow, it was his first

day as a young man, you see. And the

foreman had sent him down to see me for

a tin of red, white, and blue paint.

All right, Sunny. I says, "Now, this

will take a bit of time to mix up," I

says. So, I takes a stool and I put it

right over the spot there and I says,

"Now, you sit down there a minute, son.

Put the stool over the barrel spike."

>> Yeah,

>> you didn't pull the leaf.

>> You should have seen him go here. Here,

you see that mark up there? Well, that's

where his head went through. And there

he are kicking an or laugh.

What can I do for you, Sunny?

Well, I've been

But I've been sent down here to tell you

that your dirty money is null and void.

>> But I've been I've been drawing that

money for non 45 years.

Can't help that. You're definitely out

of order.

>> Well, I don't know how I'm going to tell

the misses. It'll break her out. Still,

if that's the way of things, she'll just

have to go with that.

>> You're quite right. The unions keep

cater for the masses and the individual

must be subserverant to the cause.

Have to go without what?

>> Australia.

>> Australia.

>> Yes. You see my boy, he got married just

after the war and me and the misses have

been saving up to go out and see him.

He's an only son, you know, and she

thinks the world of him. She did. He

ain't done too well over there, poor

little fell. He's tried hard, you know,

but well, things just ain't going right

for him, you know. Oh, well, that's it.

And it one minute you're on top of the

world and the next wall up. Everything

goes from under you.

Don't you even get a little bit dirty?

>> It's all gone.

>> Oh, there must be some dirt around here

somewhere. Ah,

>> no. I've looked. There's not a bit in

the place.

>> Couldn't you bring it in with you? I'

got to make a mine a road sweeper. Give

you a sackful.

>> I'd never get it past the front gate.

>> Oh, nip outside and have a roll up and

down the yard. Have you seen the yard?

It's worse than what it is in here.

>> Tell you what, get a bucket of paint and

I'll splash you with it.

>> God bless you, Sally. I ain't seen a

spot of paint since they put this blood

in. It's all running round and round

inside these air pipes.

>> How do you work this thing?

>> Oh, that that's dead simple.

This is all I do, you see. I just uh

just throw a switch.

[Music]

>> Now that's underra done and not a mark

on me.

>> The paint all goes around these pipes.

>> That's right.

>> I'll get you your dirty money. Stand up

one.

>> Yeah.

>> What's this pipe here?

>> That Oh, that's the uh paint sludge

extractor. You see, it sucks up all the

rotten old paint and oil and skin off

the top of the vets and then it atomizes

it into the atmosphere.

>> Stand still.

>> What about these three here?

>> Blue paint, red paint, and cellulose

fixer.

>> Nothing.

How about these three?

>> Green paint, white paint, and silver

lacer.

[Music]

>> What's in this one? thinner

>> that one

>> thickness.

>> How about these two?

>> Ultramarine primer and black walnut

varnish.

I'm done.

[Laughter]

Move your head a little bit to the left.

That should do it.

>> Right. Pull the lever.

When I was a little boy, my father said

to me, "Always have a pen, knife, a

shilling, and a lump of string."

Look at me now. Got a pen knife, a

shilling, and the same old lump of

string.

Now then, you sure your son can't come

over here to see you?

>> Not.

>> Well, hang on.

What do you think of hoie green in?

>> It's all right, you know, but it flakes.

>> How about Coronation Street?

>> Oh, marvelous. I was there, you know, we

all got the day off to go and sit. Oh,

she looked beautiful.

What about tonight?

>> Well, I shall just nip into the booze.

Couple of games of dance, couple of

pers.

>> Did you hear about Bambber gas going?

>> Yeah. So, good luck to him. I say

>> you don't know anybody who can lend you

the money to go home.

Not a song.

>> Remember this is for your own good.

>> If you can help somebody as you go

along, then your living has not been in

vain.

>> What's happened to you? I've never seen

anything like that in all my life. You

wait. You see Bill Oskins.

Billing.

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Applause]

I get sneaky

at a rock. I as a piece of kicks off my

shoes and settles in the corner with the

darling.

I listen to the Wallace, then I totally
