Apart from a handful of female clerkesses and shorthand typists, the vast majority of the staff were MEN ... whose ages ranged from 18 to 65. But the amount of back-biting, tale-telling &c.I witnessed [along with snide comments passed at practically every turn] was unbelievable ... a real eyeopener, in fact, for the more tender-hearted youth. And as far as I could guage, none of the women were ever involved!
your going far back there Arthur, early 60's since the last time you heard guys bitching

i think with most guys, no offensive is meant and so non taken.. nothing wrong with poking fun at your workmates or even wife .. but no bad will is meant, not by me anyway
