Ok, this thread is for any of you former pit traders to share/reminisce some of the hilarities of the trading floor horseplay.

Tell it like it is... any and all practical jokes, gags on colleagues or clerks, harassment of the finer sex or floor visitors, fart competitions etc are welcome here.

Seen some great tales from the floor in other older threads on T2W, would love to hear the worst of it if you guys want to air the laundry

I don't qualify for this thread, but the now banished BBB had a tale of Chris Eubank visiting the floor (in years past) which is somewhere in the archives on this site.

(Charlie Chan - so you went into trading after your early film career finished, then? Most interesting.)

Lol, I'll spend a bit of time on monday digging up links to all those old threads, some good ones out there

I remember being on the floor the day after Ascot (I had to stay while the boss went for the day). I had heard a story about this absolute stunning girl who was a runner (forget who for). Tall, statuesque, blond etc etc. Apparently she had been caught a bit short on the train coming back from the GeeGees (having filled up on pimms all day). As it was one of those modern ones with no loos, apparently she'd just squatted down in the airlock between two carriages (and had subsequently been discovered there).

Anyway, the next morning as she's tottering over to the Euromark pit, a large, slightly soggy bog roll comes flying out of the top row of the bleachers and bounces off her bonce. She went apoplectic, turning round to try and figure out who had done it, before storming back off the floor in tears, scraps of soggy bog roll stuck in her hair.

Made me laugh anyway.

LMAO!
now THAT is what this thread was created for!
pure quality, thanks Gamma!

what about that total dodgy bloke who went up to the artillery row knocking shop who then paid the good lady lota cash to treat him like a dog.....trouble was, he was howling so much that the lads who he went there with thought something was wrong so they bashed the door down to find him wearing no more than a dog collar getting whipped. so this must have been about 2am in the morning by 06.59am the whole of the floor knew the story so when he showed up at 1 minute past seven, he was met by the whole floor howling...especially for him
