I worked down t'pit. Not around here though and it was in metal mines. I was a geologist. There's a great camaraderie when you work underground that I miss. Better than some dull office job.

Miss the Pots like mad. Nobody has dirtier sense of humour than potbank women. Struggle to cope in a PC office.
Worked on JB's Imperial & Milton then Grindleys in Tunstall.

It saddens me to see that most of both of these industries has now left the area. Over the past ten years I have gone from PC Office job to office job finally sucumbing to the call centre industry that now dominates Stoke-on-Trent.
So much heritage lost. If your not geared up for customer service or sales these days your looking to struggle.
