Also, there was a trainee once, broker gave him £50 note to go and get him lunch, and told the trainee to get something for himself.
Trainee came back an hour later, hands the broker his sandwich, and a fiver in change.
Broker looks at the fiver and says " where the **** have you been, and wheres the rest of my ****ing change ?? "
Trainee says, " you told me to get something for myself!"
Broker says " Yeah ?? "
Trainee - " i bought myself a pair of shoes"

I was a spot broker for 10 yrs, then moved to OTC options mkt.
War stories? i think many years of partaking copious amts of alcohol and various other stimulants, has fried my brain. I can remember we used to send any new female ticket clerks, down to the floor below, with the strict instructions once she got on the trading floor, to shout loudly " Has anyone seen Mike Hunt ? "
To which a load of brokers would shout back " Not yet, you've only just started darling"

The female clerks were really that dumb? Surely you would realise before you yelled it out. Classic stuff, love hearing about the old days :cheesy: I was born in the wrong era dammit! Keep them coming, stories and vids, if you got em!
