You get the idea.......anything we may be interested in that you were DEFINITELY involved in.
Well into retirement now I was mulling over jobs/things that I have been associated with that people see/look at every day. Got me wondering what famous landmark buildings/items etc. other CCs have been involved with.
For me.....3 things just out.
1) 1962 I was office boy to the directors of the Royal Liver Building. I had free access to all of the top floors. I was able to roam all the attic spaces that no-one else was allowed access to.
I even stood on the roof, next to the bells when the clocks chimed. I served tea/coffee to them in the board room........women were NOT allowed past the BIG doors.
2) I worked at Cadbury's (1968) when they developed SMASH potato powder. I was a mere store keeper/ingredient measurer but was the 'little cog' that measured out the powder that went into the packets
3) I was the first person in this country to develop rubbish chutes (a German idea)..........those red ones you see hanging from buildings. I worked for a large company (part of shell) and had the idea. The M.D gave me
the funds and they "took off". In 1980 we were selling 20,000 per year.
I am sure lots of CC'rs have 'claims to fame that we would be interested in.
