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.

I'm at work right nowI work as a shift manager for a major UK catalogue company.
It's Ramadan - we're desperately short of staff.
I've just spent two hours chucking laptops, phones, monitors, microwaves - anything you can physically pick up - from a raised platform onto a conveyor belt fifteen feet away.
A bad throw deposits your goods 30 feet down on a concrete floor but if they don't go out tonight I have to answer to MY gaffer tomorrow.
The Eastern European nightshift have just arrived, most of them "fresh" from a ten hour shift at the bakery down the road. Their aim is no better than mine.
I booked on at 09.51 this morning. I'd like to be at home but I'm here until midnight. I'd like not to be here at all but I need the money.
Can you guess how much care I'll be taking of your electricals in the next hour or so?
