So, that's how you get in free! Reminds me of the days when many in
the senior directorate used to get freebies to Royal Ascot when the
Office had newly moved to Bracknell. In exchange of course, the Ascot
Authority would have direct access to the Senior Forecaster in CFO.

I remember the good old days when would-be musical artistes needed to
get advice from the right bloke in the pub to stop them turning into
live wires.

No wonder the British Communist Party was so violently opposed to
electrical guitaristas.
