I started a job in the City (London) some thirty odd years ago. A person working on another floor recognised my surname, apparently my cousin had worked in the same office block a few years before me. I told my cousin this a couple of months ago, she couldn't believe it!!

My first proper job, not Saturday, was Nat West Chancery Lane & Holborn branch. I liked it there but got promoted & transferred to Temple Bar branch. It all went down hill after I called Justice Melford Stevenson (posh judge) mate.
