Clocking in.
 

Well, much to the wifes chagrin, I think i must have the biggest collection of old clocking in machines in Hyndburn and i susspect a fair chunk of the surrounding area. :alright::D:D

Re: Clocking in.
 

Hey, I remember well the clocking in machine at the Water Street entrance to Mastabar Beltfasteners. You got that one by any chance?

Re: Clocking in.
 

The only time I ever clocked in was when I first started at Shopfitters in the 60s, when I became an out fitter it was back to the good old time sheets, clocking in cards don't tell porkies:D

Re: Clocking in.
 

I'll Take some pics and post them.
As to where they come from, up to now i have no idea, I nearly had one from Cadburys and turned one down from Flowers Brewery Stoke.
I have 5 which are portable ones which i had never heard of till i started collecting them, up until that point i thought they all went on the wall!!!! :D:D

Re: Clocking in.
 

Why, did you fiddle your time sheets?

When did the Shopfitter's close?

The decline of British industry.

No wonder the eastern Europeans seem so appealing to some companies.

:rolleyes::D

Re: Clocking in.
 

I blame 13 years of Jaysays timesheets. :D:D:D:D

Re: Clocking in.
 

Took this for you at the Mining Museum in Wakefield on Saturday, Alan.

And this was where the miners collected their 'disc' before entering the mine, to be put back after their shift, so that they knew who was still down there.

A mind blowing experience that visit.

they bring back memories kate.:)

Re: Clocking in.
 

Thanks Kate. I've missed out on a couple of those, either to expensive, or they are down on the south coast. I've got my eye on one from Rolls Royce at the moment.
I will take some pics of some of mine and post them soon. :D

Re: Clocking in.
 

Funny thing is it was recognised that you booked 8am to 10pm every day while you were away from base, the only thing that was stamped on was flying, ie booking a nights living away allowance but being at home, if caught its was instant dismissal, no warning no second chance end of story

Re: Clocking in.
 

Unless you get someone else to do it for you:D:D

Re: Clocking in.
 

:eek::eek::eek:Thats dishonest;):D

Re: Clocking in.
 

And your point is, careful you dont trip over your halo john:D:angel: always remember adding the "golden" hour on most of my lie sheets:o, i mean time sheets:D:D

Re: Clocking in.
 

I have clocked in once in my working life , i tried working in a factory once when i got fed up of the good old british weather.Didnt last long about three weeks i think kept looking out of the window thinking i cant do with this same place same job everyday thing drove me mad had to go back on the tools.:do-one::)

Re: Clocking in.
 

The latest machines use fingerprint technology, so no getting your mate to clock you out, unless you leave him your finger. :eek::eek::D:D:D

Re: Clocking in.
 

I´ve never clocked in but did have to suffer flexi time when I worked for the police.

After either breaking or losing a few yellow plastic keys they gave up on me. I hated the whole thing.

Re: Clocking in.
 

Well the time sheet was always known as "Billy's Weekly Liar"

Re: Clocking in.
 

flexi time working for the police, or as it was known bending the truth:D

The wife would kill me. Says i do nowt but collect junk.

Re: Clocking in.
 

Don't think the fact that i make models as well helps. Perhaps i should look into a unit in the market near coffee beanz!!!!:D:D:D:D

Re: Clocking in.
