To be honest, if joining the Masons meant more money, more power and getting preferential treatment I would join too. Lots of organisations are just like the Masons anyway. The Civil Service and political parties, for example. I once applied for a job in a department of the DWP and whilst I sat in the canteen preparing for it one of the other candidates was sitting at another table being coached on what to say - by one of the interviewers! Imagine my astonishment when it turned out they were friends and the person got the job.
Still bitter after all these years eh. It was a shìt job anyway. I packed it in after a couple of weeks
He's still an knuckle-dragging, Chelsea supporting, homophobic, misogynistic, racist who's reading level is Janet and John. Whereas I am....oh, I see your point. Corruption in local government was rife by the way. I got offered bungs from contractors and know for a fact those of the funny hand shake disposition at my work were sponsored at the local lodge by the directors of said companies. It went all the way to Director level. Being the rampant left-wing socialist that I am I refused any form of bribery over the £5 bottle of wine limit imposed by the rules. Talking of which it nearly came to blows over a crate of champagne one year but that is a tale for my memoirs.
to confirm please log in to view this image I'd get the squeeze of the flesh between the thumb and forefinger which I assume was either "Hallo to you fellow Mason" or it could have been "Hallo, do you fancy a w.ank in the bogs after?"
So, unless I miss my guess, when somebody gives what I think is a clumsy/weak handshake the **** was sizing me up to see if I'm a gang member?
