    Since the 1880s, over 26,000 men and women have been employed at the Guinness
    brewery. For many, it was a job ‘for life’, replete with healthcare, education and
    sporting benefits. Turtle talks of the Guinness doctor who revolutionised Ireland’s
    ambulance service, the Hollywood star who drove a forklift truck for Guinness, and
    why those doing “hot-work” received extra pints.
