Peter's was as bad - they had a poor person who used to spend all day de-foiling pork pies, talk about monotonus and if they switched off and didn't keep up all the pies would pile up on a rotating table and start to overflow onto the floor - so you couldn't even daydream:eek::blink::blink:

I have a friend who works in the blackcurrent squash factory. Did you know that you can't get the earwigs out of the blackcurrents, so they don't bother................

Fancy a glass of squash...........

So that's cake and squash off the list - you'll be no fun at the next kiddie party!

I did an audit once in a well known blackcurrant squash factory - probably the same place!!!

There was glass everywhere - so bad I abandoned the audit:eek:

Do you know that food specifications often include ppm (parts per million) of insect larvae, wings, eggs etc.

One of the worst is flour!!!!
