Didn't know about the contact lenses... glad I've always worn specs! Tale I didn't tell, similar to last... we had a very unpopular Permantant Way (MoW) Inspector who came out to a night job in heavy rain also in a long raincoat. He too stopped after each time he crossed the juice. Eventually he started yelling about sacking the ******** who kept throwing ballast at him. Everyone fell about laughing. As he stormed off he caught another clout. Made everyone's night. Another night a different Inspector came down and started yelling at everyone to stop skiving and get working. In this case the juice needed to be off (isolated). The men said they were waiting for the isolation. He told them the juice was off and get on with it. After some argument they started, keeping well away from the juice rail. The Inspector kept yelling at them to get on. ... the guy responsible for the juice came along and yelled for them to stop. The Inspector carried on as before saying the juice was off. The juice man said "Oh Yeah? Watch this... " and put his "Box of Eggs" (an insulated box with six lamps in it) in the circuit between the juice and the running rail. The moment it lit up like sunshine a worker who had moved over to the Inspector knocked him unconscious with a single punch. the first time he came round he stood up only to be knocked cold again. the second time he crawled away in a shower of stones. I don't know what happened to him but we never saw him round our way again. I tended to make a point of not upsetting MoW workers...
