-
- In my earlier days with what became ICL I was resident Engineer at the NAAFI
- Accounts Office. The Accountant there was a bit of a problem boy. One day I
- came across an England Glory Match Box with the folowing on the back :-
-
- "The trouble with most Accountants is that they think that they have been
- anointed and not appointed."
-
- This was duly pinned on the wall in my Office until one day said Accountant
- dropped in for a chat. He really thought that this was great and scrounged it
- for his own office. He didn't think that it was applicable to himself !!
