Hoi Les, spud-dude, callum, skweeky, Wee Moose. Mebbes others.

I undertood about 50% of this. I'm moderately pleased with this :happy:

V Impressive The Barbster.

While being interviewed for a job as a bus driver, a guy is asked: "What would you do if you had a rowdy passenger?"
"I'd put him off at the next stop," he says.
"Good. And what would you do if you couldn't get the fare?"
"I'd take the first two weeks in August," he replies.

Still can't wurk that one out:unsure:

Glasgow Fair is a traditional two week holiday, mainly in manufacturing industries, heavy industry (e.g. shipyards) and the building trade. Tho' it did extend to many other areas. Basically all of these would close down for two weeks. A more practical proposition than people taking holidays as they wanted. A lot of people still take "The Fair" as their annual holiday.

It's therefore a play on the words fare and fair. He couldn't get "The Fair" so he would take an alternative period.

There is also an Edinburgh Fair but that doesn't matter.

I would have got that it was a play on words if I'd known what "The Fair" was, like.

I never doubted it.
