I worked in IT Operations for 43 years 9 months all on shift covering 24/7 365 days a year working many Christmas days and New years eves.

I started in 1973 at North West Computer Centre straight from school and discovered a brilliant working environment making so many friends that are still meeting up 50 years later at either the Merseyside Pensioners Christmas lunch or the annual Jolly Boys outing in Liverpool in honour of the Only Fools and Horses episode.

At the last JBO earlier this year 38 turned up. 50 years of friendship. Many of us played for the football and cricket teams and i enclose some photos of our unique group.

Long may it continue.
