Hi I worked at h.c smiths when I left school,my very first job in a small office,with a girl called Margaret Lloyd.yes the smell from the abattoir was disgusting it came through the canteen window when you were eating,most lunch times I would have cheese and crackers.my manager was called mrs cannon.you would get a good discount on shoes,so I used to get shoes for everyone. The floors were wooden and made a noise when walking across them,I did a lot of filing and learnt to use an addressograph like a giant typewriter that typed metal plates for customers. Accounts.happy days
