Wingatisms

Things John would say :

"Wot's a billet? - is it a type of fish?"

On a discussion about hand forgings :

"Wot!, do they do it by hand then?"

Attempts at humour :

"..and then he said, go make some tea Ern..Tea Urn, Geddit?...Hhhuuurrrrr!"

Ian : "John, do you have a slow cooker"
John : "Narrrggh, it's reasonably fast"

At 8.37am on a Wednesday morning :

"Hhhuuurrrr! - I fink I'm going to have trubble getting motivated today"

It's all very much "you had to be there" type of humour, John was quite the character and good at his craft. I often wonder what he thought of us numbskulls.
