I was wondering if anyone remembers the 'snuff' connection we had or worked at Ogdens who's name I'd remember in the offices there.
I remember visiting Ogdens once and was impressed with the clock tower (I believe it's apartments now) and the huge collection of cigarette cards they had on the staircase.
I also remember all the good perks we had, 200 free fags every 4 weeks, productivity bonuses and annual 'gift' bonus! What company these days would do that.

I can still remember their phone number 0151 263 2231 and the address was Boundary Lane, Liverpool L69 1DT how sad is that???
Thanks!
My wife worked in the office there in the mid 70's - before doing A levels at night school and finally going to uni.
She'd deal with orders over the phone and was always getting in trouble for prolonging the conversation by asking where a place was if she didn't know it. She claims her geographic knowledge of the UK comes from doing that!
She was Ruth Humphreys in those days.
