    Different times different rules. I enjoyed my time in Cornish & Sussex offices. Cornish ones on a walk I’d take my dog with me, on 2 rural rounds no dog and then a late shift (to 1800) collecting from town & rural boxes and then a run into Redruth. Occasional Sunday collection overtime. Split shifts were odd, a morning delivery, 3 hours off back again & just one hour delivery. Interesting video…

    Can you even imagine! And this was better than if you were a Jewish child in Germany, Northern France or God forbid Poland. My boss was 7 when his parents put him and his sister into the hands of strangers. His mother taught him to say a prayer when he missed her. Good-bye...see you again soon son. Off they went NEVER EVER to see their parents again. It took them almost 2 years to get to Gibraltar, then on to NYC in a big boat...where a family took him in. He never was able to bond with them. He was already too traumatized to bond with anyone. My boss (the man I worked for in NYC) was completely traumatized for the rest of his life. His mother was gassed and his father shot trying to escape. He also lived through Crystal Night as a 6 year old. His father had fought on the German side in WW1...so his home wasn't smashed up when they saw his dad's medals. This was a farming family in Alsace. My boss joined the American army and went back to his home town in Alsace, as a G.I.in the 1950's Everyone left who remembered him and his family felt so bad and were kind to him, fed him and the girls there kissed him. It was too late...parents were dead....what COULD they say or do to make up for any of it?

    Mum refused to cook on a Saturday so we went to the greasy spoon cafe in Golborne Road. It was used in the Madness video for Return of the Las Palmas 7 - ua-cam.com/video/EAUhSuI_8lU/v-deo.html - spam fritters, egg and chips, shared a Pepsi with my sister! There was also a chip shop right up by the iron bridge that was one of the last in the area to still use dripping for frying, tasted fantastic!

    I was a projectionist from 1971 to the beginning of 1989 in the Denver, CO. IATSE Union Local 230. I once missed a changeover because I could not see the cues on the film due to blinding cigarette smoke from patrons in the balcony seating section. We really had to inspect the film before its first presentation because one in awhile the film shipping bureau would get the reels mixed up. I lost a job due to that. It was a 3 reel documentary from Buena Vista. BV very rarely made those mistakes but I didn't inspect it beforehand. It turned out that I had Part 1, Part 2 and another Part 2. I didn't catch that beforehand. That was my last shift at that theatre.

    My Grandfather was a projectionist for the first talking movie (The Jazz Singer) shown at the Picadilly Theatre in 1927. He was a Chief Projectionist for Warner Bros and showed premiers to royalty and all the major film stars of the time in a private theatre on the top floor of WBs head office in Wardour Street. He kept a handwritten log of which film he showed and to whom. It's fascinating to read. I also have his 'Sound Reproduction' certification issued by the Guild of British Kinema (that's how it is spelled on the certificate) Projectionists and Technicians, dated 31st March 1930

    I used to run films in high school, the stereotypical AV geek was me, i always wanted to be a projectionist but by the time i graduated in 1977 the multiplex theaters were taking over. I got in on the cb radio craze after high school and met talked to a female who said she was a projectionist, i never knew it was a union job until then, i would have liked to work at a drive in theater and there were several within a ten mile area of my house some were indoor outdoor so a drive in and a regular indoor theater on the same grounds but by the late seventies all the drive ins were being replaced by either multiplexes or other things like supermarkets, one about a mile away was built on the site of a drive in only, it started at six screens then two more were added on and in the end became 12, a film would start in the biggest theater then as newer films came out it relegated to the smaller theater and eventually wind up at the very smallest with the smallest one then it was gone. This giant multiplex was built on wet lands basically and they began noticing cracks developing in the lobby floor, the building was sinking so instead of spending God knows what on repairs they decided to shut it down, it sat closed for some 15 or 20 years until someone bought this prime piece of real estate which lays at a location where three major highways, it was only recently torn down and i forget what they're supposed to build there, now there are no theaters close to where i live there are no films worth seeing anyway nowadays in my opinion.
