Wilton wasn’t only stubborn, he was a bit of a rebel. Well, he liked to think so.
He was told not to smoke at work, but he did. “Silly rules are for breaking,” he said.
He was told he was to radio in to the office if he had to leave the machine and go for a comfort stop, but he didn’t. “Silly rules are for breaking,” he said.
He was told not to wear loose clothing, but he did. So it was a little unfortunate when his flappy sleeves got caught in the whirling blades of the pea harvester.
Well, I’d love to say I’m sorry, but silly rebels are for breaking…

Thanks, Uma. I kind of enjoy trying to understate things. In real life I think I’m as bit of a drama queen!
