Started off as a compositor for the first year, then moved to the Monotype casters, Monotype keyboard and finally Photon (filmsetting).
Almost a snap there then Dell, I started off as a comp, moved to the Monotype keyboard (didn't like that), moved to Suffolk when I was about 24, worked as a comp for five years (loved it) and then re-trained on to film and paper makeup before getting made redundant when the publishers realised they could do it all in-house and cut us out!!

You and I both know that was Mattesons...........shocking place!

Not as bad as the chicken factory in Sutton Benger though.....some of the horror stories I've heard from there (most of which I've forgotten though) make you cringe.

Yeah, I too have heard stories. Hygrade (Mattesons) was bad enough, I worked there during the foot and mouth crisis, which wasn't fun. I once spent a whole shift removing moldy corned beef from tins, I've never seen so much colours on corned beef - it was rank!

I don't eat packaged meats now... I've seen what people do, doesn't matter if it's Tesco value ham or it's "deluxe" stuff, people were taking bites out of the meat, spitting on it, the lot.

First full time job was 13.5k a year, which being 10 years ago was actually bloody good.  I dont even know what I earn now but know if I stop for a few days I am fucked.
