Welcome Roger!

What was your favourite job?

My favourite job was working as a National Cash Register outside technician, started in London,then Sydney then Melbourne, sent to Wellington NZ to start converting cash registers to decimal, onto Christchurch, back to Melbourne, then back to London to start on their change to decimal plus repairs to shop cash registers, all mechanical back then, not anymore.

That's so cool! I love it when jobs allow you to travel. What made you leave it eventually? Was it when it was no longer mechanical?
