General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Old Codswallop, I was getting that wage in 1986, not 1989. However, it was a lot less than others were getting in other state-owned utility industries.
You say you got twice that amount, and I'm not surprised, really.
At that time, I was making money elsewhere, so my wage didn't really matter and I seldom did a full week there. Me and the pit didn't get on well, as it started too early in a morning and I'd only just gone to bed!
