Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That takes some doing these days Bazo. Well done or commiserations? Take whichever works for you.;-)

I was 3 in 73. Any photos that might exist are under a sideboard at mums' house. I might have to search them out when I'm eventually allowed back there.

I’ve worked at Oxford Airport since 1975. Had my original employer not closed down in 2008 I’d probably still be with them. As it turned out I was able to get a job next door with Airbus, so no change to my journey.

I had fewer months with your employer than you had years Bazo (21 months?) However, I may be back to top it up some time (promise? threat?!) :-) G

Lol

It’s even weirder when you have a meeting with someone who wasn’t born when you started working at the employer :-0

It is strange though as it’s the same employer in theory but it’s nothing like the life assurance and endowments business I joined.

I only took this job as it was the first offer I got and though it would do until I worked out what I wanted to do.

I'm in general, not Life, Bazo. I did exactly the same when I finished my A Levels. Get a job while I work out the future.

I've had 2 years, 19 years, 9 years and 4 months into the latest employer, though, so you're definitely beating my record.

I've worked for this latest lot for longer at my dining table than in their office now.

Gosh Bazo. Makes me feel like a newb after only 25 with mine! I'm not going to make 35 years, for sure. (Well, I sure hope not!)

I converted my 25 year bonus into a greenhouse. Do you get anything to look forward to if you stay there another year?

I'm guessing this was 1973 +/- a year
