Stacking 3l bottles of cider onto pallets, fresh from being filled. So hands got covered in cider, by the end of the day my hands looked like I had been in the sea all day. I did 1 10 hour day, which was 9 hours more than a few others. Was a real eye opener for me and gave me the kick up the arse I needed to do something I enjoy.

Worked for dynorod, paddling around in other folks bab, condoms & used tampons! it was £12 an hour which kept me there for 2 whole weeks. Last straw was a call out to a block of flats occupied by loads of immigrants who was trying to rob stuff out of the van while we cleared a man hole that was over flowing with sh*t! 5 mins into job i drove van back to depot and threw keys on gaffers desk ha.

I never got called to blocks of flats on that type of job but remember cracking a smile when, whilst we were standing around a recently cleared manhole, a posh lady at a house in Cheshire seemed very shocked when someone in her house flushed the loo and a big "Richard the Third" floated past. Apparently they don't have bodily functions in Cheshire!
