The Factory (First Shift)

 I don't know how many readers have ever worked in a Factory making soap ' a factory predominantly staffed by women and a place where the revolting smell of the ingredients 'cooking' is enough to turn your stomach if you're not used to it.

Such was my place of work ' hardly a job I would have chosen, but one I had to take to pay the rent after my husband left me. I was twenty-four, poorly educated (due to my own aversion to school) and living in a town where employment was hard to find.

It also revealed some of the most impractical working undergarments I could imagine ' diminutive thongs, platform bras that barely contained their cargo and even stockings and tarty suspender belts bought from Mail Order catalogues. I was also quite surprised how many days some girls wore the same pair of panties.

In return, the foremen were equally coarse with us girls, making vulgar suggestions and often touching us briefly.

The day came when one of the girls, a buxom blonde called Sue, decided to carry out her threat and stripped off her panties as we prepared to go onto the shop floor. She was unshaven and boasted a thick thatch of wiry pubic hair.
