» Bullshit and Bullshitters
How he thought we believe it I dont know..
Preserved railways seem to attract bullshitters like Gary Glitter to a Toys-R-Us.
On the railway I volunteer on, we've had our fair share of 'I drove main-line before so dont need any training' and similar quotes. We usually root these idiots out in about 2 seconds, and they go away humiliated that their lies have not worked.
One however, stood out from the rest by a mile and stuck around like glue, lets call him Mr Skedgell, as thats his name!
Now Mr Skedgell was about 20, but was one of the classic 'Done everything' types. Been to Harper Adams Uni nr Shrewsbury for a 3 year course, (found out later he flunked out after about 3 weeks) yet had been working for 2 years after, that didnt add up!
Some of his better lies were..
His grandfather delayed D-Day, yes you read that right folks, his grandfather was apparently a vicar, and delayed the event so it wouldn't interfere with his services in a church on the south coast.
Grandmother skedgell however was the first woman in Britian to be taught how to use a lathe during the war.
Its OK to give normal chocolate to a dog, and said that vets lie about this information when he was challanged on the subject. (I really hope he doesn't own a dog now!)
His car, which was a battered Honda Civic that smelt of cow-shit, had to go back for a second MOT. As during the previous one the timing belt needed changing, the garage fitted one from a Ford Escort to get him home as they didn't have the right one in stock.
Thats the best ones I can remember at the moment, Im sure there were many more little lies.
When his father came to take him home (rather swiftly or he would have 'fallen down the stairs') one day after we found out he was stealing, his father said he was a 'serial bullshitter'! Oh how we laughed as he was driven off crying like a baby.
Someone we know saw him recently in the town, and apparently Mr Skedgell how works for the MOD designing missiles and rockets.
Mr Skedgell we salute you for being the biggest bullshitter we have ever come across! (and he's a thief, bonus points there?)
