Seen where companies pay consultants who ask the staff what should be done Money for old rope.They employed a group of women once from a Time In Motion company from Scotland. They always wore black . They stripped out a whole line of management 3 who took pay cuts & became secretaries to the remaining Managers who went up a peg. So much for money saving. We called them the Scottish Widows

Many stayed away from ferrous casting because of the danger. The temperatures were much higher and any moisture would cause spattering at this higher temperatures.Bewdley Museum has a display and brasscasting office, but had to stop demonstrations of casting due to health and safety. Remember watching the men work there with hot metal many years ago.

His daughter can't remember the job title but he was in between the Birmingham slaughterhouse & the meat market butchers as a supervisory role, he was qualified to.to do bothMarsh and Baxter another name from the past .

I think drum and piano makers are becoming a trade of the past sadly. And piano tuners. I was told that a company makes furniture out of old drums, I couldn't sell a late friends for love nor money he had 2 drum kits. The Piano in The Tipperary Inn Meer End is a fish tank. Our youngest calls it the fish pananna, he is 3 he loves to show it to us and says it doesn't play
Remember a piano tuner at junior school.
