Back in those days, if the power failed you still had the ability to make a phone call. Each exchange had its own back up power supply and batteries. Now, if the power fails your phone is dead too. The NBN has been a complete disaster!

Good documentary, covers the first two decades of my career! Neglected to cover the EMG Pay Day BBQ, and the Mato ver's Insto cricket matches. Essential team building exercise! 😀
