    certainly not. Umbrella's do a fantastic job of keeping people dry. There's nothing immoral about it, in fact you should be proud

    Hey we worked where the umbrella was invented. We probably have to credit that invention for our careers.

    No they made them in the light products department in the early 70s. We used to sneak in when we wanted some brass for shims and such. They also made the springs for the old telephone dials.

    I worked at a helium factory, before eventually moving to a new job as wheelchair tester.

    I left the helium factory because I couldn't stand the way people spoke to me. Mind you, the wheelchair job wasn't much better, got really fed up of being pushed around.

    No that was light springs, light products was just past the fire station on the left if you entered 3 gate. Tree racks there now, (well 4 years ago) :). Take it you served a bit of time there then rothred.
