Original real leather with handy compartments for tools and spare relays/connectors the GPO manbag of 2014 is suitable for carrying a laptop together with your jimjams for that overnight stay in the Docklands Travelodge.

What does a GPO engineer need to carry with him?

Actually, don’t answer that – given that they’ve all lady friends near every telephone exchange. That’s what they’re really doing when they call in to HQ saying they’re “on a job”. 😉

In the old days, telecoms engineers wouldn’t need to take jim-jams with them. They snipped wire with their teeth and slept in their overalls.

Hi Tref – I’ve got one of those languishing in my loft – didn’t realise they were so rare! eBay here I come….unless you want to make me an offer?

I don’t know if they are rare – there was an element of poetic license there 🙂 Actually they are very common – I’ll give you a fiver for it 🙂
