For instance, plasticine can get stuck under your finger nails and you have to spend ages, gently teasing it out with a cocktail stick, which in itself can be hazardous, as cocktail sticks can be sharp. So I wouldn’t like any youngsters thinking of coming into the industry to think that it’s all just supping tea, playing with plasticine and listening to music, because it isn’t. Well actually, yes it is.
