Starting the year of in style, He’s the Macaulay Culkin of the Skip Hire world – but with attitude! Ladies and Gentlemen put your waste industry hands together for this month’s Skip Hunk, Joe Cunningham.
Joe is The Skip magazine’s youngest ever hunk and was put up for the honour by his dad, Lee of CCS Skip Hire in Manchester.
Many people over the years have told me that working with children is a ‘nay nay’ (Andy Crane, Gloria Huniford, Grotbags from The Pink Windmill – the list is endless) but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Children are just little adults I thought…
Ok, Joe, what involvement do you have in the skip industry?
Don’t know what ya mean!
What kind of stuff do you like to get up to when you’re at the yard?
Digging.
Anything else?
No.
Ok. And what do you like to do in your spare time?
Ride about in the wagons.
Anything else?
Watch Man Utd.
At this point Joe became so bored with the interview he decided to completely ignore me and the questioning stopped. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time. Interviewing is indeed a ‘nay, nay’ – Grotbags was right.
This interview was originally published in Issue 18 of The Skip, January 2007
