I'm a mason of 30+ years (as I can see are a few on here) and we are able to talk about it, just ask.
There are many online resources

Anyway I'm off now I've a goat to feed.

All of our lot say they can't confirm or deny but we all know who's in. My Grandad is in and whenever there's a family doo (remember them?) me and my cousin try to quiz him on it and he shuts us down straight away. Maybe he just doesn't like us

Was rife where i work a few years back..people getting promoted over others..one lad got asked in an interview if he was ‘on the square’..he wasn’t and the other lad got the job.

They wouldn't need to ask.

 

[Cypher]

according to me dad my grandad was in them and when he died some blokes came found searching for some scroll. Never found it.

Sounds like the plot from The Goonies.

 

[The Mole]

My Dad was a member at Hetton for years.

Ramapant sexist and racist, dyed in the wool brexiter/right winger
Kicked out of the met after 2 years and a bankrupt

Due to a faulty handle on an outside netty I once accidentally witnessed my Grandads crack. Take it from me, you’ve no reason to complain.

He was..as I already posted the place was rife with it.. there was a lad on the shop floor who was well up in the masons down Hartlepool..he was having a bit grief with a manager who was also a mason..he was overheard telling the manager ‘if you don’t desist from what you’re doing I can make life very difficult for you’.. a lot of these masons have left now..the union had stepped in and spoke to senior management about it a few times.

Tosh

Not tosh at all..the truth..several times where i work people were promoted over others because of their mason status..there was one particular senior manager who I wouldn’t let run a bath never mind a factory.

Not how it works

 

[SnapplesSAFC]

His Grand Lodge Certificate I would assume

 

[Cheesy Feet]

Not how it works

Did where I work..the lad who was well up down Hartlepool..he should’ve been sacked for stuff he did down there..at the time there were a lot of masons in senior positions and he was being protected..they’ve gone now and he’s been disciplined since.

I thought the buffs was just a piss take of the masons?

The alcoholic offshoot. I knar I was (is) one, or both
