No, I went to a normal secondary school. But don't forget, I come across a lot of *strange* occupations while transcribing for FreeCEN.

I would imagine the public mangler is someone who worked in a laundry,
pressing wet clothes through a mangle.

A SAGGAR is a fireclay container, usually oval or round, used to protect
pottery from marking by flames and smoke during firing in a bottle oven.

The SAGGARMAKER, is a skilled man, producing the finished saggar, using his
thumb to make a near join between the side and the base.

The BOTTOM KNOCKER (a young boy) made the base of the saggar from a lump of
fireclay which he knocked into a metal ring using a wooden mallet or mawl
(pronounced mow).
