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.

Chip shopI worked (starred?!) "for one night only" as a chip shop delivery driver. The pay was shit and my car was effectively uninsured because it was 'commercial use', but I digress...
The rank part (besides the greasy shit they called food and the lack of hygeine practices) was when I got back to the shop at one point and needed the toilet. The toilet was upstairs in some type of grotty flat that was used as storage / dump etc. Typical of a tiny flat, the toilet was right next to the bath (literally a couple of inches apart). There were no lights so I had to aim by what little light came through the filthy window from the streetlights.
Being an angsty youth and generally pissed off with the lacklustre treatment I'd received thus far, I pissed all over the place anyway. Especially in the bath, which I detected from the burbling sounds was already full.
It wasn't until I finished and made to leave I found the light switch and used it, only to see that the bath I'd just 'topped up' was being used to store uncooked chips.
Guilty? Not at all. It was so minging in there, it was probably cleaner after I'd pissed all over the place!
