A cranky old chippy drinking tropical fruit crush cordial out of a five litre water cooler, has today pointed out to everyone else on site that he just doesn’t understand the kids.

Steve ‘Beef’ Berrigan (65) says he wouldn’t be caught dead walking around in a pair of figure hugging skinny jeans like the young fellas he sees out at the pub, and that it’s the type of dacks that a girl would wear.

“Off to go shopping with the girls mate haha” he says to a younger apprentice after seeing him throw on a pair of slim cut jeans at knock off before heading out to meet his missus.

The apprentice, Kel (20), is quite patient with Beef’s low quality banter, mainly because he knows that he’s recently been fleeced out of a small fortune by a wife he’s never met in a country he’s never been to.

“Haha. Yeah, something like that” says the young bloke.

Beef, not content with the rise he got out of Kel, goes in for another dig.

“Why would you wanna go out on the town dressed in that kit” says Beef, while readjusting his eight-inch long workshorts.

Kel changes the subject.

“Beef one of your nuts has slipped out again”
