Your comments are, unfortunately, all too true. Sadly, they would have been true in my day, also. I think that the difference is that we were able to bypass the management, & , we had a bit more autonomy, which isolated us from management to a degree. So, we were much more able to "do our own thing" (within the rules, of course). We were aided in this by having such a large number of ex WW2 personnel , who stood no nonsense. I wish you all well & know that you are all doing a very good job.
