Canon factory in Glenrothes
These aren't first hand but my mate worked at a factory during the summer months when he was a student.

Firstly, all the permanent, fulltime factory workers (window lickers) asked my mate Allan: "So if you go to uni what are you doing here?"

"I go to university from September to May. I'm just saving some money before the start of next term."

"Why? How much do you get paid to go to uni?"

As an aside I should also mention that they found it hard to imagine *saving* the money he earnt rather than pissing it up the wall.

My favourite though...

"So what do you study at uni?"

"Biology."

"So what did you do at school?"

"Biology."

"Do you not do different subjects at Uni then?"

Yep. They actually thought you do Higher (A Level) Biology and that's it. You know *everything*.
