Thanked: 3164Max - that reminded me of a workshop I visited to pick up a part from, about 20 yrs ago, maybe longer. The two fitters looked like old men from a distance - when I got closer I could see they were late 20s - mid 30s but uniformly grey - their hair, faces, hands, overalls, bootcaps - all covered in a grey coat of dust. They took me into the "shop" - a very small room, rollerblind door, no windows. Everything in it was grey - the dust covered everything and was heaped up in the corners and on the shelfs.
As we were speaking I could hear a soft coughing/wheezing noise, but couldn't tell where it was coming from - until a decrepit old dog got up in its corner, shook the dust off, turned round a few times than lay back down on its dust covered blankets.
I worked outside in the fresh air at the time - that place seemed like a living hell to me.
Regards,
Neil
