Any 'Night Owls' out there from B.T. or even the GPO?
I trained in Portsmouth as a telephone operator in 1961 for the GPO. My very first time away from home as we were put into digs at Cosham. After 2 years, I left to go onto a PBX which was the dream of all us girls, get employed by a private company and run their switchboard. Do you remember the 'blinking eyes'? I left, had kids, did part time work then, went back to B.T. Still on the old plugs, which I loved then we retrained for BTOSS. Very inovative but eventually cost us all our jobs.
Anyone who wasn't a Night Owl or telephone operator won't have a clue what I am talking about but here goes anyway.
Methinks all Night Owls have flown away!
Never mind. I will just answer myself and say ' why did you ask the Q in the first place?
I even tried to mark my Q as interesting! Is this some sort of record?
i.e. No answers?
In the nineteen sixties worked for the GPO as an Engineer in the North of England. I might have crossed your line a time or two but I doubt it.
did you have a favourite technician many PBX operators did(not only the female ones, God help us), those were the days.
