Making sandpaper belts..In a sandpaper factory for a pittance. No one talked to me cos they caught me reading a book of Keats poems which was obviously far too highbrow. Lasted 3 weeks before developing mild RSI.

I worked at a sandpaper factory once,The building was about 100 foot wide and half a mile long with a giant long sandpaper-cooking oven right down the length of it, they made yellow, green, blue, red and black sandfuckingpaper on different days. When the day was over I could pick huge luminous colour-of-the-day bogies out of my buge. I also had no fingerprints but I resisted the urge to be a burgalar. I lasted 3 months with the scumbags that worked there.
