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.

The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeI work for a pharmaceutical company. This will probably not come as a suprise to anybody, but the mark-up on our products is staggering - we're talking profit margins of 6000% plus. We're also pretty profligate in terms of air-freight (although this is not confined to the drug trade). Got a drug that you manufacture in the UK and want to export to, say, France but can't because of international licensing laws? No problem - just find a country that you can export it from - let's say Australia for instance. Then all you need to do is fly it over to Australia and put it straight on a flight back to France. Problem solved. The big drug companies have constant streams of planes just touching down and taking off again in places with favourable licensing laws.
