Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Maybe but still beautifully done inside and out. Is a Singer stupidly expensive for what you get (4,000 man hours)?…

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Late '60's, early '70's I had a part time job as a pump attendant to supplement my normal employment.
Pay was 25p an hour and I worked 2 or 3 evenings plus Saturdays.
Met the lady who became my wife at the pumps....

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Early '70s for me - local Esso garage. When taking the readings off the pumps at the end of the day, I soon learnt that the true amount of fuel dispensed rarely matched the written record kept of sales to each customer.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
1966/67 I worked through the summer at the 12th Milestone in Templepatrick, when it was just 2 petrol pumps and a kiosk, not the big shopping services that it is now.
And they were just petrol pumps - none of that smelly diesel stuff!

We used to give extra Green Shield stamps to the man with the ice cream van and get free ice creams in return.Nine One One wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2024 9:27 am And don’t forget, keeping the Green Shield stamps from customers who did not want them!
