make you cry. Crystal, this is a story in the mail today. More than half of people have
0:06
cried. This is after the Rachel Reeves situation. Eamon, I feel very attacked. I'm having a personal problem, Eamon. Yes, this is Rachel
0:15
Reeves. And basically, a survey has come out today saying actually, about half of workers
0:23
more than half admit they have cried at work at least once
0:28
And, of course, she very famously said... Let's just do a quick poll round here. Have you cried at work
0:34
Once, when I was much younger and I left the room, because it's unprofessional the way that she cried in public
0:39
outrageous, I think. OK, Miriam? Not that I can remember, and not in public, certainly
0:44
Not in public, no, not at work. Well, I cried at work. I was 22 years of age
0:49
And my sports editor called me and he said to me, what's wrong with that script
0:54
And I read it. I remember what the script was about. It was about darts and whatever. And I went, I don't know
1:00
I don't know. And the next minute he fired a ceramic cup like that
1:05
bang, against the wall behind me and it smashed. And I went, I went like this
1:09
He said, I'll ask you again, what's wrong with that? And I went, I don't know
1:15
And he then lifted up a telephone, which had a wire on the end of it
1:20
and he fired it and it hit the wall behind me, right? Now I'm beginning to feel my top lift shudder
1:26
and I going don cry don cry don cry here And he said what is wrong with that script And I said I can see there nothing wrong I can see anything wrong with it And he lifted his Adler typewriter metal Adler typewriter
1:40
and threw it down at my feet, which I had to jump for. And I then started to cry and I thought, I was 22 years of age
1:48
I thought, this is awful. But as I ran down, my protector in the building
1:55
a big producer, a very tall man, Rory Fitzpatrick, said, young Holmes, what's wrong with you
2:00
And I basically told him. He just went up and he went up into the office of where this guy was
2:06
And this guy was a very big sports guy, you know, a very big guy
2:11
And he punched him, which was great. But what was wrong with the script
2:15
Yeah, what was wrong with the script? We never found out it was about Jackie Wilson, the dance player
2:20
I have no idea what was wrong. To this day, I don't know what was wrong with it
2:25
If we weren't going to find out, Miriam was about to throw her laptop. I was just about to offer a tissue and see what was wrong with the script
2:32
The HR policy has changed a little bit. Isn't it interesting, by the way, the two butch men on the panel
2:37
so to speak, are the ones that have cried at work and the two ladies on the panel have not
2:43
Or maybe you get treated more harshly than women, I don't know. Oh, that's a nice get-out
2:47
There you go. I'll take that. I've saved your ego. Yeah, thank you. But I do laugh at how he got punched
2:53
He was a big guy and this guy just punched him. Things were often resolved where I used to work at
3:00
With punch, people being punched. It's called a Glasgow kiss for a reason
