I did two weeks in WH Smith; I still remember the security codes, in fact I wonder if they've changed them since then...
I worked in an ICT educational facility called eLearning@Luton, where they provided resources to local students for use in IT, media and musical projects.

The gift shop in my local hospital. I essentially spent a week helping old ladies stack packets of mints on shelves. However, I was occasionally allowed some chocolate for free! :smile:

I did my work experience at MKOne. When I say "work", I mean sitting on the changing room for 2 weeks.

I can still remember the code for the back office. 20147 (I can say this because the chain has since disappeared and replaced with a Mickey Mouse apple store).

Year 11, spent a week at Big Pit. Was bloody awesome, spent the time drinking tea, brazing, cutting with gas axes, and finding out about mining stuff (might sound sad, but loved it!).
Year 12, a week with the Army with a few mates. Got to learn about vehicles, change wheels, go in the Land Rover Wolf, strip a rifle and assemble it, drink tons of tea, and play WarBlade (kick ass computer game).

So yeah, I was pretty lucky :smile:
in year 10- 1 week at specsavers and the next at the Body Shop:biggrin:

2 weeks in a law firm.

Made me realise, I didn't want to be a lawyer lol.
Admissions department at one of my local unis. Dad set me up, he worked in that dept for years as well as lecturing. I went to a meeting about admissions databases, entered GCSE grades for crap students onto the database & played with muppets figurines.
