My dad says that although it was hard it was the best job he'd had just for the camararderie.
Also gin that pic of the small seem he worked one that size for a few months while they prepared a new face, it was less than 36 inches and they had to use the old fashioned props etc as the modern stuff didn't fit, Got paid extra so happy days for him he said, not so much for a couple of the other blokes he worked with as they were 18st+
