The time-travelling demolition man Part 2

The demolition worker that we plucked from 1974 is still working on a modern demolition site; and he is still acclimatising.

“What the Hell is almond milk?”   It’s been a few weeks since I snatched Bob from 1974 and plonked him, unceremoniously, on a demolition site of today.   And this is how he greets me.

“Some people are lactose intolerant, Bob,” I explain.   “They can’t eat dairy products.”

“And there’s milk in nuts?” Bob asks.

“Never mind all that, Bob.   How are you settling in?”

Bob says the work itself is largely unchanged since his day, once he is actually allowed to do it.   Even though I can sense that he is about to rant about training courses and competence cards yet again, I take the bait.   “WHEN you’re allowed to start?”
