Was half way through installing a piece of software when there was a bang and a grinding noise from the drive.

Is this an attempt at a Wenchyism?

Did you ever handle those 8 inch jobbies?
That was all we had when I started…  cloud9:

When I started they looked like this:


They look far too bloody smart to be proper operators. Look like nancy Wallington Grammer School boys.
Snoopy on the left I reckon!  point:

Sorry but it is a "stock" picture. In those days I was in uniform and had a short back and sides.

My parents used to work on them. My Mum was an operator and my Dad was an engineer.
No dear, it’s not a launderette…  ::)

No, locally to me. Although Dad did used to get out and about quite a bit. He used to be loaned out in emergencies.
