    Oh where do I start??

    - Packing trees in December on the top of the Yorkshire Moors - outside! Temperatures during the day -1 to +2 degrees (plus wind chill factor)

    - Working on a well-known scourer production line having never done anything like that before. After 5 minutes I was surrounded with boxes. The first morning they had to shut the line 5 times. Then the repetitive action (ooerr missus) sprained my shoulder muscles so badly that I could feel it for years afterwards. (no time off either)

    - Same employer (above) putting the tops on talcum powder tins. That was it. All day. Every day.

    Didn't I just love being a student in the holidays!! :rotfl::rotfl:
  • ...picking green crisps off the conveyor belt and putting them into a black sack ALL NIGHT! Kept a set of clothes just for this job as the smell of the oil never came out.
