A food skip full of putrid pork.
Worked for Barons meat factory in Audenshaw for a few months when i left school in the eighties.
Somebody had filled the wrong skip with pork meat and the skip company wouldn't take it.
So it had been left in the summer heat for a week while the dispute went on.
It got to the point where the factory workers refused to come into work due to the stench of rotting meat.
Our cleaning team got instructed to shovel the meat out and into the correct skip.
No words would ever do the smell justice. The meat had turned green, and slimy. We had to stand on it to shovel it out.
No masks and just wellies were offered. Looking back, i have no idea why i didn't tell them to go fuck themselves!
