Have you ever worked in a factory? I would love to work in a chocolate factory like Willy Wonka. 
Yes, I have operated machinery in a factory.
What kind of stuff did you make in the factory
We made chemicals and oil products.
How long did you work there?
10 years, but I started out in a "glorified workshop" which is a factory with a small amount of workers and machinery.
I've never heard that term before. Do you miss working there?
Yes, I loved operating the spinning mules we had.
What is a spinning mule? I've never heard of it before. 
It's a machine that spun cotton and many other fibers. It's very useful!
