Samuel León, 28, Manchester:
"In Spanish I would be more precise because Spanish comes from my heart and I could find a precise word for every feeling I felt when I was 19.
"They used to get us up every morning at 6.30 and take us to the factory. All of us were foreigners; Polish, Spanish, Portuguese. We had to put on these horrible suits because it was minus five degrees. I used to work in this big room. It was like minus ten. What I did was I took the meat out of the crabs, and that was really, really disgusting.
"I came to England with mt ex-girlfriend and three friends of mine. It was not a very good time but at the same time I realised when I finished work my life could not be so simple. The working conditions were not very good so that made me think about my life and made me grow up. I think that factory is a turning point in my life."
