Started my new job today
« on: 02 December 2013, 22:15 »
Started my new job today , working on the production line for honda swindon ,

There's a problem with the casting of the cylinder heads at the moment so the ones that didn't cut it I'm re-working the heads to get them up to standard .
May sound boring but have scope to move around departments and everyone is nice and money is good

That's all  :tongue:

Thats good. Its still very hard for some people to get a job (many reasons) my mate works at jag in bham and he says you cant go for a p1ss unless there is a supervisor about if not then you might aswel p1ss your pants. And assembly line is hard work.
