The View We'd See During Our T Or Lunch Breaks - a Memory of Yeovil.

I was one of 5 typists on the 2nd floor of Lloyds Bank n our window would overlook the War Memorial n down the High Street between the Midland Bank and Boots which in the 70's had a clock on but the time couldn't be relied on but there was another on H Samuels which was more accurate. We'd get the fumes from the buses wafting in. A great place to work.

I thought this memory was very detailed from a sociological view. Five typists, the clock, and the bus fumes. Time was frozen in your memory. Thanks.
