I 'served my time' as an engineering apprentice at British Leyland.

There...I've said it. (like admitting your alcoholism at an AA meeting)

When I retire I will write a book about it:

British Leyland (my part in it's downfall) !979-1983.

The place was vast beyond belief.

They never bought anything.

They made it.

I was seconded to No.8 shop in Farrington aged 17.

Day one...first brew time...

They had a brew area with a huge hot water boiler.

Made 'in house', it was a giant dome of copper

with huge rivets straining to hold the flexing cauldron within.

On the side was written...African Queen.

I nearly scaulded myself laughing.
