You Can Have That Back.

[Mike Jackson]

Its going to be a while. After the two we have building at the moment, we need another 5 or 6 in Kent and south London. Can't go too fast, or we'll run out of money.



Whisper it quietly... we are still using an ancient, DOS-based system that MickW and I wrote back in the 1980s. We keep promising ourselves that we will get a new one, then introduce all this whizzy new modern technology (like bar codes and electric light!) but keep putting it off. Never the right time.

I still reminisce about the good old days when the tickets were hand written. None of this faffing about with computers. We used to go into Crew Davis, pick up the gear we wanted, go to the trade counter (yes there were two counters, trade and retail) and write out our own ticket on the ticket machine. Account number J18. None of this hanging around because the goods weren't listed on the computer and they'd have to manually book them in etc.

Ray,

Forget the fancy barcode machines, just get in some decent coffee in your machines.

Your white coffee is to die for, or do I meen it could kill me :32:

The Bovril is good though :coffee:
