I've encountered the ugly face of nepotism before, but fought and overcome it to obtain a position through determination and (hopefully!) merit: another story; another place...

I also applied for the GPO upon leaving school, but they weren't recruiting round our way then. I made enquiries with the 'Sick and Tired' on the railway (Signals and Telegraphs), but it would've meant digs at Carlisle, and further afield - assuming I'd got a position, of course.
