I first studied Electronics, and then worked as an Electronic Engineer; my title was ‘electronic technician’, after a year or so I became Electronic engineer. It wasn’t bad. We were about thirty engineers. There was friendship and a comradery between us.

The equipment that we used to repair were Pagers, Walkie-Talkies, Printers, and the most important equipment that we used to repair were Telstors, which were I believe (but I am not one hundred percent sure) the first Telephone Answering Machines in Britain.

Soon we came together, and the lads arranged an Election and I was elected the Shop-Steward. Heavy Responsibility! I worked for about four years with the Firm. I regard it in a way (but not in every way) a good part of my life —– beautiful memories!
