This is quite mad! How come so many people want to read my drivel? I'm astounded, thank you all so much!
Those asking about addresses for delivery and so on, I'm not 100% sure how it works (this is my first kickstarter), but I can message you via the KickStarter system for an address nearer the time. It still has more than a month to run, and I can't publish until then.
Keep on pre-ordering. If there's money in the kitty afterwards I'll get a round in, or something.
A bar tab, and the author reading excerpts without hesitation (or deviation or repetition) after a few pints. Now that's something I'd even board a flight to participate in.Those asking about addresses for delivery and so on, I'm not 100% sure how it works (this is my first kickstarter), but I can message you via the KickStarter system for an address nearer the time.

Mr. Fox, just a thought.
It might be worth contributing to this : http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences/
They accept submissions from anyone, and since I'm addicted to reading anything and everything on that site I feel I'm qualified to wager that a few humorous tales of your experiences would fit right in and give the book an even bigger kickstart (!). They don't seem to mind contributors plugging their own blog/book/twitter so it could be a good bit of easy publicity?

I think that's a great idea. I love the "real life" stuff on Cracked - often very interesting & funny.It might be worth contributing to this : http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences/

I think this is true for most of minimum wage, agency sourced, zero hour contract working Britain, whether it be factory work, warehousing, courier or other driving jobs, care-workers, retail, supermarkets to coffee chains. It's just appalling.
Not necessarily, especially when people realise that without the agency staff the operation would be up poo creek ... I would suggest it's an attitudinal problem within certain organisations and, ironically, the Unions may actually to be blame rather than management .

5S is so last year, it's all about 6S now!
I work in manufacturing, not automotive, and have never seen it implemented properly despite millions being spent on training.
6S, I presume you mean 6 Sigma, is not going to add much if you do not have a solid foundation of 5SI work in manufacturing, not automotive, and have never seen it implemented properly despite millions being spent on training.
The chapter in my book about production terminology said:
Six Sigma - The six sigma goal for manufacturing is to drive quality to less than 4 defects per million parts built. The Wall Street Journal once estimated that nearly 60% of all corporate Six Sigma initiatives fail to yield the desired results. Probably because it’s far easier to say to a workforce “less than 4 defects per million, please, chaps” than it is to actually roll your sleeves up and achieve it.
DFSS – Design For Six Sigma. This is a set of methodology related to Six Sigma (see above). It is not to be confused with DFS, the buy now offer ends Monday sofa warehouse chain situated in Darley Dale, Measham, Droitwich and Grantham."

How do I order multiple copies?
Just pay double the amount (ie 1 copy is £8, 2 is £16, postage is £2 regardless) and I'll pick it up. Yes I paid £30 for three - assumed no discount for postage for multiple orders.
Signed copies would be nice !
