Secretarial resistance, 1950s: ‘when our tea breaks were cut by 2 minutes, everybody took a pound note to the tea trolley, so the tea was priced as sixpence, so by the time the poor tea lady had found change for everyone, the 2 minutes had actually been taken up, that was just a little protest.’

This is a very local story to me & the journalist has done an amazing job exposing just some of the oddities surrounding Sam Smiths. I was describing to a friend recently my amazement when I saw it marketed in the US as a luxury craft ale. Business historians would kill for access to the archive!
