A curse of the age was relying on a genuine "Answerphone", which in those days were on a 3 year lease at about 15 quid a month and were the size of a full sized reel to reel tape recorder - which of course is what they were. Bearing in mind I was at school until the following year and my first wage was four pounds ten shillings a week, that hire fee was quite expensive - and that club had a full time secretary until about 1974/75.
