I worked at Plessey. The factory was adjacent to Moriss's The day before I got married in Sept 1973. My work mates fastened a ball and chain to my leg. I managed to get out of the factory and "escaped" to Moriss's factory where I got the maintenance guy to cut it off You should have seen the look on the girls faces when I came in through the back door with a ball and chain around my leg..
