Yesterday the company were I work has a sub contractor was celebrating fifty years that it’s factory in Wigan had been open. The company I work at is the H.J. Heinz factory and is the biggest food factory in the whole of Europe. My job is to look after the new boilerhouse without this process the whole of the plant would shut down costly a large amount of money. So to keep the plant running to full efficiency can often be a very stressful but more often than not a very enjoyable experience.
I have never seen the queen in person so I was really looking forward to it, each section of the factory was allocated a designated viewing spot. How pleased was I to get the spot were she did the presentations and got in and out of her car. Which by the way was a beautiful and very expensive Bentley.
When the queen arrived with her entourage I was lucky enough to get within 10 feet of her and I had an excellent view. It was truly an excellent experience. After the queen had been and gone the canteen had a carvery on with turkey and beef on the menu. Because I’m on a diet I haven’t visited the canteen in a long time, but the food is excellent so I said why not.
I had roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, various vegetables and roast potatoes. It was ok but I’ve had a lot better. It was quite a big meal but I didn’t feel one bit guilty because I know I’ve been extremely good all week and know I’ve lost at least 2 to 3 pounds. One carvery isn’t going to do much to my weight loss is it. All in all yesterday was a great experience and one that went very smoothly without any hiccups.
