the winner would be because it's the only one that had proper shifts uh working in the cellophane factory oh bridgewater now cellophane bonded fiber all this sort of thing was created in uh or produced and distributed in a massive factory on the outside of the town i grew up
right

and when i needed a bit of money over summer holidays that kind of thing um try and get a job there.

And I remember spending a very, very long time with a machine that took a big long tube, like an extra long toilet roll of bonded fiber, spun it up into little rolls, sliced it with pretty, like put your hand in the wrong place and you wouldn't necessarily have a hand afterwards, kind of rotating blades.

And then I had to get, as quickly as the machine was running, grab these bits of bonder fibre and stuff them into a plastic tube with a nasty sharp rim.

And then put the lid on the plastic tube, do four of them with my friend who was also using the machine at the same time.

And again, just keep doing it as quickly as possible because they just kept flowing out of the machine until eventually the massive reel ran out.

And then there was like two minutes for it to change and some people began to smoke, probably in the room because it was like that.

And then every once in a while, we'd also have to go and change the stickers because it would either say Sainsbury's baby wipes or Tesco baby wipes or Halford's car wipes.
