Claims that running a Knacker’s yard is not actually that knackering are being strenuously denied by Fred Knacker, of Knacker & Knacker’s Knacker’s yard on the outskirts of Knackertown.
“My father was a Knacker, and he was always knackered. Knackery is a very knackering profession. He’d spend all day stacking knackered old knackers until he was too knackered to stack. Kids these days don’t know what being knackered is. I’m looking for an apprentice knacker stacker, but nobody knows how to stack knackers properly, never mind not getting too knackered,”
Said Mr. Knacker, as he stacked the old knackers in a tidy knacker stack.
“I’ll be ready for the knacker’s yard myself if I stack any more knackers today. I’m bloody knackered. But I’ll have to get up and stack more knackers all day tomorrow. If anybody tells you it’s easy, they’ve never stacked a pile of knackered old knackers in their life. It’s bloody knackering,”
