  Interesting. I knew a painter who worked for the council. His fiddle was to call at the stores depot with an empty paint tin. He'd ask the staff there if he could take a small amount of sand away in the empty tin to finish a small job at home. Sand costs very little and so they'd say yes. But - the empty paint tin would be discarded and the painter would take a full new paint tin and place a mound of sand on the tin lid and walk out. Once out, he'd dust the sand off and have a full tin of paint!

  that's a mighty barren office, no pics of the kids, no calendar... even more depressing in black and white....

  oaktree_brian_1976 Guess this was pre-kids' photos on desk days, and ahem, but there is a calendar - top right!

  Like what appears to be the working timetable hung on the wall, rather worn it looks too!

• Terry said:

  Superb! But it's a bit sobering to realize that this nostalgic shot was taken 12 years AFTER I was born :(
