The Met Office at CF was more like a Scout Hut than any Scout Hut! Wooden walls, thin partitions, if you banged the door shut the barograph on the wall received an extra time-mark.
A lot of good people worked there: Ann Wiggins was one of the bosses, another boss was a John ? who was a top-grade football referee, Long John Smith, Bob Ward, Alan Dorward .............
I did a det there during the 1966 World Cup, and they tried to shaft me with all the England match duties.
Tried.
