Something for the weekend, Sir?

Pop into the stores department at an Openreach depot down there in Somerset (precise location redacted), ask for Andy the storeman and give him the coded phrase “I’d like something for the weekend please”.  Said storeman might then reach under his counter and pull out a pile of well thumbed glossy magazines.  And if you’re especially lucky, like regular correspondent and top TPAS agent #0469 John Brunsden, one of those greasy mags – slipped your way – might just be a copy of The Post Office Electrical Engineers Journal from January 1939.

Using a camera cunningly concealed in his mobile phone, agent #0469 hastily snapped off a few of the pages and emailed them to us.  I present you now delectable, collectible selection of eclectic photos from this amazing tome. It was with particular mirth that agent #0469 and storeman Andy pored over the man with trilby up pole on p5.  Rightly so.  Thank you John & Andy
