Default Whittle PHB

I couldn't agree more, two to a stall was a luxury especially on back shifts. It often made us late for the bus and the subject of much jeering from those who were quicker through the baths and waiting on the bus.

By the time you'd completed PPM sheets, handed them in and got washed Fitters / Electricians / Deputies were always last!

The contents of my locker were only fit for the rubbish bin I'm afraid and I didn't have a soap tray it was an old nylo belt fastening box in the bottom of the locker.

The introduction of the orange overalls and the weekly laundry service was a revelation at the time. They had to build a new extension to house the lockers.

I still see the occasional NCB Donkey Jacket and wellies they must have been made of good stuff or someone has a secret supply of new ones! Apparently NCB Duffel Coats were also available?
