Did they not let you have any of that retro Wanderers stuff sponsored by Cambrian though at least?!

 

Cutting the ends off/packaging bog roll at Charles Turners in Belmont and on Mornington Road in that absolute death trap of a warehouse opposite Mo's bakery was bad.

 

KFC was shit as well, not so much the day to day stuff, but now and again manager would just decide it was a "detailed clean" night, and we'd be in there till 3am on Friday/Saturday using fucking toothpicks to clean out fat from the fryer wheels.

 

Blockbuster, at that shop no-one knew about in Sainsburys opposite Sweet Green Tavern. Great times in there, no customers like, but great times.

 

 

Carol Danes seems to ring a bell. Was Nora an elderly lady,dark hair and glasses ?

Carol was very loud and a bit scary with short mousy blonde hair and I wouldn't say Nora was elderly, more middle aged with quite big hair and glasses. There was also Audrey who had darkish hair and glasses and was a bit older.

I'm making the women of the BEN sound very attractive, not!!!

When I was there I'd of done Nora, tidy lady in charge of credit control

I can't believe you've just said that ha ha

Selling White Love fanzine for Smiley.

 

Also not a job as such but for my old firm me and my workmate were sent to rip a ceiling and ducting above out at United Utilities in Wythenshaw.

 

It was directly above a giant shit filtration thingy so above the ceiling and ducting lay about 15 years worth of shit and a whole flock of maggot ridden dead pigeons.

 

I caught some kind of infection and my face swelled up like the elephant man and my mate cut his hand and ended up nearly having to have chopped off it went that infected.

 

Lovely.

 

Also stripped out 25 year old insulation out of a 35 degree heat battery room.

 

Also lovely.

Yes I think they did. God you have a good memorie

 

 

my cousin?

No, your cousin is Glenis Hamer and its a bit weird that I know that and you don't

Yes I think they did. God you have a good memorie

 

it's all they talked about plus sex. i remember Carol saying to another woman ''so i was shouting at rounders,run hard Glenys,run hard and Glenys replied..i'm running hard''..........then Carol and Glenys fell about laughing over the story. Another lad,Ian and myself just stared at each other blankly. I knew I had to leave there ASAP

Don't think I could've worked in that department either. I was in newspaper sales/circulation and I loved it.

Egg packing for a few months in 76 when I got back from Newquay, never known a duller job with even duller people to talk to, it nearly drove me insane,going to the canteen was so fucking boring with inane talk. I ended up going for a pint in my dinner hour in the Railway pub.

When I was a lad, I got a job in a hatchery and part of my job was gassing the male chicks... It didn't bother me at the time but town living has made me soft and I couldn't do it.

 

 

Country lad that I was didn't bother killing animals, it was a way of life

Screwfix. ...

 

First time round made me well aware I was a replaceable cog..

 

Second time turned over for promotion as they wanted more women inmanagement and I was too old... gave it to a 20 year old girl with no previous experience over me with 11 years management experience. ..

 

Mind numing work picking items and putting them away.

I worked on a production line making TV's when I left school, fuck it was boring.

Selling metal working fluids for a company based in Daventry

Got a shit load of sales literature extolling the virtue of our "RollsRoyce Approved" products.

 

Got a trial at an aerospace engineering place and the customer liked it.

"Send us your approval certificate- we need it as we are making fan blades" they asked.

 

I repeated the request to head office only to be told "Our products aren't RR approved"

 

Made me look a right cunt and lost around 40% of any prospective sales

 

Total nob heads just using folk as guinea pigs.
