The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Dole OfficeI had a short term contract working for the Dole Ofice back in the days when Thatch was Prime Minister.
Despite all the official denials, I know for a fact that the unemployment figures at the time were completely made up.
I know this, because it was my job to do the count, and was instructed to knock off a few thousand claims here and there of people who were "ineligible" for the dole for reasons of the govt's own devising.
Then, just before I handed the sheet in to the big boss, I would add a few thousand back on to teach the scheming bastards a lesson.
On the last day of my contract, natch, I got as pissed as a little beetle added on an extra one, for luck.
