Wearing school uniform in the UK equivalent of Workshop 101. Got my tie wrapped round the lathe,
and it was too short for me to reach the kill switch.
After that we could take our ties off in the workshop.

In recent years it would be mandatory to remove a tie. Makes you wonder what they were thinking. Or
they were not thinking.

It was the 1960s. The Elf n Safety Nazis didn't exist then, and the UK wasn't litigation-crazy like
now.
