    Goodness me, sounds like you were a workaholic, I remember the Herald and Monarch systems better to work on than the old key and lamp system and the one I can?t remember the name of that used a 41 wire

    My wife got wise to me not working Saturday afternoons when Albion was at home , then at work on the Sunday .
    Looking back I should have used my skills , I can plaster , plumb ,carpentry and I went back to night school to get my Electrician certificates .
    What I should have done is used these skills and our money to buy and sell houses and my wife and family could have got involved .
    There are that many options to make money now a days and enjoy work .
    Gen z's need to wise up and get grafting .
