Were you involved in the protests at all.dpedin wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 11:33 amThe next week because it was sunny I was sent up onto the roof to clean all the glass panels and remove debris. It was explained very carefully to me that this was expected to take all week inc weekend and I would only be allowed down for meals. Got dreadful sunburn that week!Jimmy Smallsteps wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 11:56 pmYes that sounds very similar. One of the painters was inside a big washing drum IIRC, doing some touch up work with a particularly toxic coating. Apparently some joker nearly died when they previously did it unsupervised, so I had to sit there and ensure he didn't keel over. The biggest challenge was staying awake.Ghost-Of-Nepia wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 9:34 pm
Jdogscoop of this parish had a similar summer job at the local meat works - he sat on a chair and watched a guy paint the inside of a large pipe.
I then moved onto nightshifts which was the plum job - 4 x 12 hour nights plus overtime, Friday 4 to 9 and Sunday morning 8 - 12! Mopping and sweeping floors, cleaning toilets, etc. Extra money plus got to play in the singles and doubles dominos and cribbage leagues. Got my haircut every fortnight for a quid and watched most of the Aussie v England test matches that summer. Also got beautiful set of darts made to order and snaffled a free Sinclair spectrum. Those were the days!
