Shortie: I worked for an anodising company in Camden Drive during the mid sixties and those huge vats were all over the shop floor, filled with chemicals. The wires were for "jigging up" the stuff to be anodised and the men all wore rubber aprons, long rubber gloves and wellies. I had to walk over the raised boards to get to the back of the shop so got free nylons from the firm - one splash and that was your best Wolfords shredded in a flash! Health and Safety certainly wasn't alive and kicking in those days.
