In the mid sixties I spent some time as part of a team doing
the audit of Automotive Products in Leamington. The company had about 4000
employees on that site and some of their brands were Borg and Beck clutches
and, I think, Lockheed. We stayed in the Directors’ guest house, a rather
splendid country house a few miles away; excellent chef and silver service
waitresses. I remember that there was a large heated garage in the grounds for
the chairman’s chauffeur to park the Rolls. I also remember assuring a new member of the team that he should remember to bring his dinner jacket as one was expected to dress for dinner. He did . . . . sorry Arthur . . . .
Those of us who remember how things were 50 years or more ago should take the time to make their memories available to younger people. A world without the internet, without on screen games and where direct face to face conversation substituted for texts, emails and so called social media - was it better? Was it worse? Whichever, it was certainly different. PLEASE do add comments - thank you. Search this blog using the search box at the bottom or choose a topic from the labels on the right.
