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 !!
