And when I started, you had one biro issued and had to hand that one in
when it ran out before getting a replacement. Hard to use a biro when it's
got a padlock and chain on it!

You had biros? Cue someone to come in and say that you had it lucky, and
that when they started you still had to use a quill pen.

A quill pen, luxury, when I was on the bench we used our fingernails ....
We also had four candles to read by :-)
