SKIP HUNK – January 2009

As well as this month’s Skip Chick, our January Skip Hunk is also from Buchanan Skip Hire, in Livingston… and is also in some immensely strange attire! It’s not unusual to have the occasional fantasy about indulging in a bit of doggy style in the workplace, but this is not typically what comes to mind. Let’s say hello to Les.
Q. Hello Les. What’s your role at Buchanan’s? Does it happen to involve eating massive sandwiches, then chasing bad guys around disused amusement parks with your pesky friends, by any chance?
A. Not quite. I am a Manitou driver at the waste sorting plant.
Q. Oh well, close. So what do your colleagues make of your unique style?
A. My boss does not encourage us to dress up when we’re working and thinks we are daft!
Q. In fairness, your boss has quite a strong case there, but we think there should be more daftness in the world so good on you. What’s the best thing about your job then, Les?
A. My workmates are the best thing about my job, and I have a great boss too. Friday is fish and chip day here and we all love it!
Q. Brilliant! Friday should be fish and chip day everywhere. So, what’s your life like outside of work?
A. When I’m not working, I play on my quad bike and look after Moira and my daughter Emma.
Q. That sounds like a lot of fun (as long as you’re not trying to do all these things at the same time, I suppose – that might not be so fun!) Have you ever found anything unusual in a skip?
A. I found a cat in a skip once.
Blimey, I hope you weren’t dressed up as a six foot cartoon hound at the time! Well, thanks for being our first Skip Hunk of 2009, Les. Reward yourself with a Scooby snack, you’ve been a real ‘character’! (Although Scooby Doo is actually a fictional character, but hopefully you’ll overlook this technical inaccuracy in the interest of a cheap gag!)
The Skip magazine is currently on the lookout for more Skip Hunks to grace its pages.
