Bluebear Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The heat we've been having recently has been making my GT unbearable to get in after work, stupidly hot gearknobs and steering wheels do not make driving a fun experience haha! We should get some UKSO branded foil sun deflectors to put in our windscreens made up ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment I'm starting on tool setting and bits, changing moulds setting up water feeds/air feeds, and programming the machines, I'll just see where it takes me but I know they want me to learn injection and blow moulding machines.They do bits for Bentley, land rover, mother care, think buckets, rs buckets, toolboxes, fishing decoys, duck calls, medical and soo much more lol. It's not too bad, been struggling to find work in this area so at the moment in just happy to have a decent job! If needs be i'll use it as a stepping stone but I'll see how it pans out!My uncle and step son went into business and started a similar company based in Leicester lol.

StuDoc 72 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) The weather is fucking amazing. Typical Brits spend the whole winter moaning about the cold only to complain when you get a bit of heat.Its only shit because we have to work in it. Tbh our weather is so shit we ahould get days off when its nice haha.I think we deserve this tho winters recently have been horrific and the last few summers have consisted of about 3days of sun.
