Tight as a ducks ar*e.

We used to supply parts to Heli Leeds and everytime they ordered spares they would ask us to call them back. One day the pips went when they held on too long.
The person ordering was given change to use the hangar pay phone!!!!!!!!!!

After that company policy was never to phone them back.

One of our crop spraying pilots claimed to have found a microphone hidden behind the light fitting in the crew room when he went over to Leeds for a check ride on the Hughes 300.
Spotted a second cable wound round the light fitting cable on the ceiling!!!!!!!!!
Tore it out and left it on Wally's desk.

One of our ex engineers went pilot and worked for them (nice guy). One day when he flew in he parked on the far side of the airfield. He walked over rather than let us see who he was working for out of embarrasment..
