Would that have been the TV Room?

We knew the date we were due to be promoted to flt lt but no blue letter or anything like that. It was a question of scouring the London Gazette looking for the confirmation. Only after it was in the Gazette did we bring out the ribboned No 2 jacket. Never any notice from handbrake house. Next of course was scrutinising one's pay chit but you couldn't fault Lloyds, always on time and always accurate.
