Aaaah yes the Telstra (Telecom) stories.
I also have a good friend who has been with Telstra for about 25yrs.
I recall him telling me how they used to sit in the pits on the footpath & call everyone they knew (usually international) by just choosing a line from the pole. Anybody's line. Someone got the bill for the calls.
Or how they would restock their own garages & tool boxes from the depot stores. One guy used to take the spare bobcat tyres & sell them. The Telstra storehouse would just assume that one of the thousands of bobcats took them & so re-order.
That guy is in charge of half of Brisbane now I think.......
