Greetings from West Australia - I used to work as a fitter at Linby in the 80's. The only Aussie working there with a good bunch of blokes.

That was the way with cobbles,now if it had been slack or singles the whole course of your history would probably have been different. Who do you think was the luckiest, you or Becky Taylor?

Just remembered it cost 6 pence for a drink from the drinks machine. That was in early/mid 80s.

Strange how things bring back memories. I had my first ever corned beef and onion sandwich in that canteen, loved 'em ever since.
