We've got little paper cones by the water machine. You get just enough water in them to take your painkillers

Today was the hardest day of the week for me; 84% humidity and maybe earlier exertions caught up a bit. Legs lasted 'til about half way but were heavy after that ... happy for a day off now.

So why do they supply hand wash/soap? The same case could be made for them.

The reason is they are a bunch of greedy sods that care more about saving a few pennies here and there then the safety of their workers.

Anyway, they can provide you with the funds to buy your own, just like they do to clean your uniform.

They do, every Friday and they call it wages.
