1994 - before vandalism set in |
I do not applaud the fact, the visitor here is assured of that.
The Interview.
I think it was a Thursday sometime in November 1969 when I attended an interview in one of the small back offices in the wooden building shown on the right in the photo - then the Foreman's Office.
The proposed employment was for the separator floor and might have been a temporary position.
The interview, conducted by Personnel Officer Danny Eynstone, progressed as he filled the form with my details.
It all appeared in order 'till, at the last sentence, I informed him that "I have to tell you I am due in court for stealing from my previous employer."
Danny didn't even pause nor look up from the form.
He replied, casually, " You can't steal milk, it runs out your trousers, be here to start Tuesday next 1:45pm".

I am eternally grateful to Danny.
The following day I informed my father who was only marginally impressed.
"You won't stick that for long", he remarked as he looked up from his boiled egg.
He was wrong. I took to the job like a duck to water.
