Used to stand in the Shed (corner) in front of a guy who worked there too. Loads of Jambos worked there when I was there. A wee walk from the office to Tynie for midweek games. I was on the 4th floor - dealing with free school meal and clothing grant applications. Not the most satisfying job for a teenager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianes pool hall - cheap bear and cheap pool. Sometimes the Haymarket Bar at lunchtime (nipping into Marshalls newsagents on the way back to work for a packet of mints....) I was young at the time so (and come from out of town) so I went where my elders led me. For a spell I shared an office phone with a guy with the same surname as me. It was the days when you would refer to your self as Mr ...... - we had a laugh when a customer called and they said they had spoke to Mr ....... earlier only for one of us to deny it. It may be you had to "be there" but it was funny at the time. I went through Torphican Street a few weeks ago and there was massive changes since I left LRC.
