The 70's

I was in a unionised job and some of the daft things we weren't allowed to do in the early days were: change the hour on our own office clocks twice a year, clean our typewriters or change the ribbons, open our own post (in the unlikely event that anything had snuck past the Post Room), send our own telex messages, go to the lIbrary and help ourselves to stuff from the shelves without even wanting to take it away, use the microfiche machine without supervision (actually, that suited me as I could never fathom it out), talk to the women in the Gestetner department , "borrow" stationery from other departments, move furniture around etc, etc. No wonder it was our industry that led the way out of these archaic practises.

I agree mamafrankie,

They got too full of their own importance and did more harm than good in a lot of cases

Bruv, download 'Free Movies Unlimited' and have a binge. You'll be better for it. I watched 'Ted' about the teddy bear that came alive earlier. I also watched 'Rocketman' about Elton and 'Ray' about Ray Charles.

You too, Bruv. 'Rocketman' is actually excellent.

That made me laugh out loud and the one underneath about being an angry and bigoted old person. I wouldn't want to go back to some of the social injustices of the 70s but there was a huge amount of hope around that time, too.
