Roof Joke - Follows On From Lift Conversion

[DTCwordfan]

With all the time on my hands what with this pesky virus, I set about re-slating my roof. Unfortunately, my ladder fell down and as I'm way out in the back of nowhere, there[s nobody around and I spent the night up there on the roof until the milkie came around. I passed, I guess, what they call 'a night on the tiles'.

Sounds like a story you see in the gutter press

Grout all night, then, were you?

Why on earth have you used a square bracket instead of an apostrophe?

Give him a chance he's spent the night on the roof.

It doesn't really surprise me! Lots of people on Answer bank seem to have strange ideas about quotation marks and inverted commas.
I don't really understand why . Why fix it when it's not broken?

reminds me of a workmate who rang in sick saying he was having trouble with his piles, when he returned to work his partially deaf boss asked him how his roof was . . .

So long as it makes sense it doesn't bother me. I've re-read some of my own post's and simply thought balls! Spotting my own grammical errs.
