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.

Dry cleanersOk I admit this isn't funny and is more of a top tip from my days as a dry cleaner.
If you have clothing that can be dry cleaned or washed, wash it, yourself, I'd only wash it anyway. Oh and my secret amazing stain removal tip? A bar of Vanish. Yes the same stuff you can get in supermarkets nationwide. Instead we'd charge you £4 for a pair of trousers you could have cleaned yourself lazy bones!
I think the stuff people brought in was more of a dirty secret give away. I've cleaned more pairs of old mans trousers that stank of piss than I care to remember, an overcoat covered in dog shit* oh and not to mention the blood stained bed sheets of a local high court judge. Oh and if I found stuff in your pockets, I'd make sure you got the money back, some of the time.
*This was the most disgusting and vile smelling thing I ever cleaned. The owner brought it in on a Saturday morning and very sheepish. The consensus was she'd had a quickie in the park on the way home from a night out, the dirty bitch. I left a note on her coat telling her not to do it again. She wasn't pleased.
