Does the Team think?

[Ian Williams]

When I first went to work in a toolroom in the UK nearly all of the older men at the factory wore shirt and ties, it was only the under 40's who wore anything different and not all of them either. NZ did not apparently have the class system that existed in the UK so perhaps that explains Bob's comment that Kiwis always looked so rough and ready in period photographs. Although that said I have not noticed such in pictures I have seen unless we are talking about some individuals in pretty small rural workshops, large companies in city's and such like would no doubt have had workmen men dressed much the same manner as in the UK.
