Quote: Something I hated more, back before the days of photocopying, we had to type on a piece of paper with the quaility of wax (that was then rolled around a drum, then every time you cranked the handle the barrel would roll over a sheet of paper, making a copy - making an error when typing was a real headache!

Was that a Gestetner machine?

To be honest, I've forgotten the real name for it - but it was a beast of a machine and I dreaded the words "Karen, type out a stencil!".

Did you also take shorthand ?

I remember the Pitman Shorthand. Probably still got some tutorial books in the attic ! !

The smell meant one thing to me at primary school ... the dreaded End of Term exams, trying to read an nth copy of the exam paper, in the peculiar faded pinky purple ink just added to the joy of them

One of my treasured possessions.

Agghhhhhhhh..... the dreaded Pitmans! Tried learning it three times and then gave up. When done properly though it looked great. And so useful. I always regret not persevering.

I was an audio typist - I did start learning, but never got beyond the basics!
