Do the members have any stories of shall we say "fraternisation" between the sexes at work.I have a couple.In the mid seventies at Hainault one of the chargehand cleaners was coming up to retiring age,but every afternoon he and one of the women cleaners,she was in her late 50's, used to disappear into his office.At 3:25 they would reappear to clock out,both very red in the face and breathing heavily.The best of it was the woman's husband worked in the lifting shop and was the only person in the depot oblivious to what was going on.
The second instance was also at Hainault,there was a young chippy who had only recently got married,but was getting extra portions from a girl in the canteen,that was until his wife found out and came to the depot to confront her rival,the guys at work said it was great entertainment,a cat fight right in the middle of the afternoon teabreak!

Funny you should mention this. I was doing nights last week, at Ealing Common Depot. I got on my train about 2ish and caught a couple of cleaners rapidly getting dressed, if only I didn't make a racket climbing on my train and throwing my bag in I could have seen everything  |

When I worked nights at Royal Mail, one of the evening code desk operators was observed by about 20 or-so staff hidden in the basement car park, playing the pink oboe for one of the engineering staff. When she finished, she stood up and received a round of applause from the audience. I never seen anyone run so quick in my life!!!!!

if only I didn't make a racket climbing on my train and throwing my bag in I could have seen everything Perving again are ya Jim? ;D I was at Liverpool Street a few months back going to Chafford Hundred and I boarded a 321 to go to Stratford (then get the JLE to West Ham then c2c), it was time for the Train to depart so I boarded the second carriage and decided to walk up the into the front car, as I got into the front carriage I saw there was a young man on top of a women with his hand up her top and they were both giggling and screaming, they heard the door slam behind me and I’ve never seen a bloke move so fast.  I could both see they were blushed out, sweating and breathing heavily, looking at me like they wanted to tell me to I'm breaking the rules with a naughty word off into the other carriage ;D I got off at Stratford and to make matters worse for them about 20 more people boarded, so I think that was their time of pleasure off the agenda. |

Cor. nothing new all of that. Been going on since before the war. Used to get lots of shenanigans by station staff. Walked in to the urn room to make can of tea at Bow road westbound once and caught them 'inflagrante delicto' on the floor. I stepped over 'em made the tea and stepped back and shut the door as I walked out. Not a word said by anyone.
Edit: I see from just looking at Tubeprunes site I am not the only one to have discoverd 'Horizontal Sports' taking place in urn rooms. Seesm to have happened on the Picc too. Only in that case the room was closed thereafter.

Reminds me of a story about the first Director-General of the BBC, Lord Reith. Apparently one day he walked in on a producer and a lady announcer undertaking mutual exercise on a BBC table. The producer was very good at his job, and the announcer was popular with the public, so eventually Reith was persuaded not to sack them. But he insisted that the table be burned.
Of course, if Yerkes had discovered two of his staff in such an activity, he probably would have joined in.
