Three of us were given a bucket ONE hand shovel and put on the roof of Brinton's carpet factory in Kidderminister cleaning the drains.  The foreman who was afraid of heights would climb the ladder and say in a Black country accent "I can never catch youse working but you get the job done".  It helped that i was such a good summer.
Also worked in a cake factory in Brum putting 4 almonds on each iced cake!

I worked in Portstewart one summer looking after the bouncy castles and big inflatable slides and go-karts.  It was good craic.  A few summers before wasn't as fun, was in Dungannon Meats.  Knew the man in charge of the boning hall so lived in his house for the summer, but we ended up being late one Monday and it was no big deal I thought as it was his fault, but when we got in someone else was packing instead of me and my mate so we ended up in sorting the hydes for a day - never forget it.  My mate pulled the fly one, well he got hit by a side (skinned cow) that was zooming by him on a hook and he got to nave home.  I had to stay and a few times I got the end of a cow hyde in the mouth as they were everywhere, mist disgusting day of work ever.  Some jobs out there seem handy, I know a fella who works for the roads service and he gets good money but all he does is setup traffic counters or go around and count how many cars are in a car park every 30 minutes.

I worked for two full summers in the turf...6 days a week...killer.
Then I went into business for myself and cut my own turf...did a bit of door to door turf sales around Ballyclare, Glengormley and the like...most of them didnt know what turf was until you told them it was cheaper than coal. You could get twice the price around there for a bag of turf than you could around home.
I've also cleaned out cattle-houses...power hosing. Talk about a messy job.
I worked for a number of years in a factory making DIY garden sheds....crap work but the craic was good.
Worked in a timber yard for a summer stacking various sizes of timber coming off a sawmill...sounds easy but it was the hardest job I ever did.

Worked on a roof on a school in Boston one summer.There was a 1 in a million chance of debris falling down below into the Sports Hall which was deserted anyway. Health and Safety officer demanded that we get a Ground Guy to make sure nobody came into the Sports Hall while work was going on overhead. Got some quality reading time in that week.
