There was relief amongst exhausted workers at a Yorkshire factory yesterday afternoon, when an overworked and underpaid junior member of staff came to the rescue and put the kettle on for a cup of tea.
Polly - no second name - boiled the water at the Left-Handed Screwdriver Company factory in Wakefield, after colleagues complained that they were "mafted", and needed a nice hot brew with which to "simmer down'.
Sukey, one of Polly's co-workers, took it off again, however, when it was discovered that tea break time was nearly over, and that everyone had returned to work.
Factory officials are investigating.
