Question Worst job.

[Mad Cyril]

We have had this before but it's time for an update.

For me it would have to be 18 months spent at a sponge factory in Rochford around 1993.

The first thing I heard when I walked through the gate was one chap say to a colleague "are you still k**bing that bird from the peanut factory then or what?"

The dirty jobs - literally - whilst working as a domestic at Runwell in the summer of '79. First job (or two) was to clean the men's bogs, not a brilliant start to the day with a hang-over.

I used to be a Sealed Unit Manager in a double glazing factory. Nothing was worse than unloading a huge lorry full of massive sheets of glass. It was not only dangerous, especially when the wind caught you out, or you had to negotiate around tight surroundings and then stand them on end and rack them, without clipping anything, otherwise they could snap and guillotine down on you. It was also extremely knackering after a couple of hours, aches and pains everywhere and you felt that your weight carrying hand was going to drop off as the fingers went dead.

The very same.

When I worked at the sponge factory new starters would regularly have done a runner long before the first tea break of the day unable to handle the mind numbing tedium of putting sponges into plastic bags.

Now I cast my mind back I remember that the application form for the job only required the name, address and telephone number of the applicant.
