What a great video. The lack of personal protection, ie, gloves, masks, goggles, seems strange to see in this day and age.

Reminds me of a joke (based in reality however) about the time a USA based automotive journalist toured the Rolls-Royce factory in the 1960’s. As he was escorted around the plant by his guide, he asked him “How fast does the assembly line move?” The host scanned the production floor, and replied “I think it moved last week…”

I guess if you see old men missing fingers in UK it’s the lack of safety gear as noted…
