Interesting jobs #4

“Richard, we’re not sure what’s going on, but can you investigate it?”

It was a problem in one of the paint shops in the factory where I worked, in Manchester.

So off I went into the factory … an interesting place. Over to the paint shop, where the manager was waiting to see me. Waiting, but very happy.

“Hi!” He grinned.

“So what’s the problem.” I asked.

“They are a really happy bunch, but work tails off in the afternoon.”

I went in with him and was immediately assailed by the smell of the paint solvents.

Workers turned and grinned.

    I suppose they had a high ole' time at work, courtesy of the fumes!

    Indeed they did, and what I did next did not go down well …

    Looking forward to reading about that, which I'm assuming is forthcoming since this is number 1.
