When I started work I worked with about ten other blokes in central London, in the city I was able to watch the rebuilding of St Mary Le Bow from my window.
One of these blokes bought himself a new flat hat, we all had a whip round and bought a similar hat but a smaller size and we then kept changing them over without him seeing us do it.
The poor chap, we found out he had been visiting his GP about, as he thought his head swelling up etc, couldn't understand why he had to be quite so abusive to all of us when he finally found out?
On of the best practical jokes I've been involved in, it was so funny, after all of the abuse the subject really joined in and took it with such a good hart a really good man, unfortunately now departed.
