Printer, tedious job.. no skill involved nowadays. Money ok and I get to read Performance Ford and Autotrader before it reaches the shops.
A Project Engineer for Corus Steelworks Port Talbot currently responsible for the replacement of 25 year old coil pickling tanks made of steel. rubber and acid resistant brick with plastic tanks in the Cold Rolling Mill. Total cost many millions. Worked 56 hours overtime last week which included a day off, bit tired now as I did a 19 hour stint yesterday.
Due to roll steel again on 14 Jan, hope some of it ends up in a car you buy.

I worked in port talbot for about 6 months on the hospital, used to lodge out in neath or porthcawl had some good nights out in porthcawl in the summer :cheers: :cheers: but we got banned from 2 of the hotels there so we had to start staying at neath
Gaz,
my mother works for the catering department in that hospital, its just round the corner from me, you must of visited the Bagle Brook Beefeater in Baglan. Neath on a Fri and Sat night, like the Ok Corale
Never been to the beefeater but i have also worked on baglan energy park
And also worked at a old folks home right on the sea front , big steel framed building it was.
Baglan Energy Park, quite close to the pikies then, had a lot of mates working on the energy park. Were you working at the seafront recentley mate, i know theres buildings gone up now but can't picture the old age home, That beach front is where i done all my boy racering moons ago, they were the days (i must be getting old now)
It was about 18 months ago, it is quite a big building right next to the sea , all i remember about the place is that the building was right next to some shitty old toilets :geek:
yeah shitty old tiolets and skateboard ramps, i know the one now, just didn't realise it was OAP's home. Nice chippy a bit further down though Francos.
yeah thats the place mate , also worked in bridgend, and stayed over in swansea , that was a ****in awseome night out :cheers:
yeah Swansea is where we go for a night out, it ain't worth really going to Neath or Port Talbot, when Swansea's only 5mins away, don't do Bridgend for some reason, although i was working in the Ford factory for a year.
