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.

Thanks For The MemoryOver ten years ago now my brother had a job at a large high street electronics shop that rhymed with....... oh fuck it, it was Dixons. Anyway, this was before the whole hilarious sexist bollocks of 'The Tech Guys' but they did have technical people on hand who would do repairs and upgrades to your computer for a small fee. Or that's what they told people anyway. What they actually had was whichever salesboy happnened to be passing at the time attempting to force your brand new graphics card into the computer through the floppy drive and wondering why it wasn't working. This was proved when my then 17 year old brother came home one day and said he'd installed some extra RAM in someone's computer.
"What???" I spat, knowing that on a good day this boy could honestly struggle to work a mouse.
"Yeah. It took me a while though, I don't think they gave me the right tools."
"TOOLS???" I gaped. "What the fuck did you use?"
"A hammer."
