He used to bring back wodges of old routine sheets, the backs of which we used as scrap paper.

As you can see, just a couple of minutes worth of items could take up a page, so a typical day’s worth of routine sheets could take up the best part of a ream.

Spare a thought for the poor typists. They had to produce all this from scratch!

At Tyne Tees in Newcastle, I can remember the whole end of Presentation room occupied for them.
