Shaggy Sheep Driver, in the mid-1950s Westlands serviced and tested Sabres at RAF Merryfield. Typically, they got behind in their work and started doing full power engine tests at the weekend....
As we lived very close to Merryfield, this rather annoyed my late father. After the first weekend's disturbance, he managed to obtain the private phone number of Westlands' MD.
So the following weekend, when the racket started again very early in the morning, he rang the MD's number: "Hello, did I wake you up? Well, hard luck - because you woke [U]me[U] up!".
Next weekend, the noise started again. So Westlands' MD got another early morning call: "Hello, it's me again!".
The following weekend, all was peace and quiet.....
