the worst job i ever had was working on an oyster farm. At low tide we would have drive out on the back of a tractor to the oyster beds that were about 2 miles out on a beach, we would have to work up to our knees in the freezing cold irish sea. We each had a stick and we would have to un hook the metal mesh oysterbags which was tricky as they were hooked down veery tight by industrial elastics, so you couldnt ware gloves, and even if you did wear gloves they would get wet an cold.
Once the bag was unhooked at the four corners you would have to turn it on its side and beat it with the stick so as too loosen the oyster, then you would have to take all the sea weed of the bag and re hook it. You did this for about 4 hours, then, once the tide was up to your back, it was back onto the tractor, soaking wet and cold, to cold to even light your own ciggarette.
Once back in the factory you would have to stand on a conveyer belt (no sitting) and sort through the oysters, breaking them down into groups of v big, big , small and very small. You would do that for four hours. I was greatfull to be out of the irish sea.That job turned me into an alcholic. The people working there were great fun and we made the most of it but it was the tuffest job ever.
I hate oysters by the way.
