The tale of the bacon slicer

Abstract

To turn from the high‐powered efficiency and blazer‐and‐tie traditions of the Britannia School of Mines to the tale of Ollie Morgan's bacon slicer is to move from a successful pattern of national training to a unique experience, part love and part cunning. The Caeduke preliminary training centre is indefinable in statistical terms and yet presents to those ITBs still obsessed with the establishment of bureaucratic machinery an answer to their training problems that would horrify them. For it is born from dereliction, looks like a bombed site, and is the resting place of miscellaneous mining equipment cannibalized from the victims of the Robens closures of which it would seem to be the sole visible beneficiary.
