Eric
He was my department manager when I had a weekend job at B&Q, Born and bred in Sheffield, he was rough as fuck and as common as shit. In short, he was a leering, prehistoric pervert. The evidence:

- His pride and joy was a caravan.
- He was covered in home-done tattoos and one giant ('professional') one of of a full-sailed tall ship on his chest, which showed through his white shirt. He'd had this done on entering the Navy aged 17 - only to be kicked out six months later when they found he was epileptic.
- His idea of a witty comment to the check-out girls was "show us yer cunt" - and it was the kind of place where many of them actually did.
- He complained of sexual discrimination when the female staff were told they didn't have to hoist 50kg bags of cement up to their own head height.
- He was finally sacked for voicing the previous opinion in terms made up almost entirely of the words 'fuck' and 'cunt'.

I was the only one who liked him.

I also recall the manager of the store - a 'woman' called Janet whose face was a porcine mask of grease and pimples. She had legs like a kitchen table and spoke in a kind of Sheffield patois that most customers couldn't understand (viz: "Wiz oil?" translated as "Where is the hole?" when faced with a complaint about a carpet.) She was so tough, she had a hysterectomy in the morning as was back at work the same day hefting bags of cement and telling everyone they were "as thick as pig shit!".

Ah, Yorkshire
Strong in the arm, yet incredibly thick in the head.
