@ghost-of-a-duke saidNo.
I once (genuinely) had a job packing celery.
Yours sounded more fun.
The very slimey roll of condoms had to be cut into 3s, the flat-pack box
had to be assembled, then the condoms put into the box and taped up.
They were for vending machines..
Two evenings a week when I was studying for my 'A' levels.
Of course the fun part was putting a pin-hole
in every 20th condom as required by law.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIt was a strange place to work, all kinds of temporary workers and employees including me and my friend. We worked there full time - during exhibitions and between them for about six months, before going back home again. When you did domestic work, you didn't need a work permit.
That sounds like the perfect job. Did you get to eat any?
I believe we were allowed to eat some. 🙂

No.

@suzianne saidThe ones we made for the temporary workers preparing for the exhibitions were rolls with egg, mayonnaise, cheese and tomato. Then we made sandwiches that were deepfrozen with similar fillings to be sold to people visiting the exhibitions. I think there was a show every three weeks - boats, furniture e.g. There was a mix of people from all over the world, and my friend and I worked with girls from Australia for a while. My friend Jill and I were not exemplary in any way, I think we were a bit undisciplined. 🙂 Before Earls Court Exhibition we worked as diningroom maids at St Bartholomew's Hospital for a few months, with mainly Irish and Italian or Spanish girls.
You must be an exemplary sandwich-maker!
What kinds were your favorites?

@wolfgang59 saidI have a question you can answer or not....did you ever puncture a hole in any of the condoms?

@Very-Rusty
I have a question for you: Why did you call me a "butt kisser"? Whose butt did you think I was kissing?
Generally I think of you as impish and pesky, but not mean-spirited. But now I'm not so sure.

@very-rusty saidI'm fairly sure wolfman wrote that he punctured every 20th, "as required by law".

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAs you are aware I was joking. (Hear that Rusty JOKING)
So you played your part sir in overpopulating the planet?

However there was an urban myth at the time that a percentage of condoms
were deliberately holed. I played on that myth at school when asked!
