This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, 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.

Another IT related one for you here
Working in the control systems industry can be pretty funny, when it's not extremely laborious and annoying because you have some suit standing over your shoulder deciding what shade of green they prefer for their "new button" on their touch panel...

I worked for a company that had sites all over London, one of which was a certain telecommunications company. They had a theatre, decked out with control system and massive projector. It also had a rather lovely set of PMC speakers to boot. It was seriously high quality (presumably they still have this).

Anyway, we got called to site once to implement a locking mechanism for the touch panel as the cleaners had been going in and watching hardcore pornography on the mahoosive rear projection screen!

At least we didn't have to clean any suspicious substances from the touch panel!
