Working for social services I was a typist, and we were just getting to the age of floppy disks. And so one day I put a floppy disk, which I actually found out later was corrupt, in my computer - and obviously we were all networked, and everything just crashed.

So everybody’s doing their reports, not realising it was my floppy disk that was corrupt. They got it all sorted…and then I went back into my office and I put in the floppy disk again, and everything crashed!

And now luckily they don’t have such things.
