When I first started work at 16 years of age in a drawing office.1954  :roll:  One of my first jobs was to trace a drawing shewing a sergent holding two raw recruits noses to a hand driven grinding wheel the handle of which was being turned my a lance jack.
The motto at the bottom....
Nil illegitimus carborumdum.

I do wish I still had a copy of that cartoon.

Remember no copying machines in those days either. Everything was traced then printed on a dyline machine.

Hi,

we are the sort that takes a nice latin phrase and then destroys it

ie - persona non gratis  = person without cheese

so when we describe ourselves as 'without cheese'............we are not loved! (sad but the kids even say this when they are in trouble)

regards

ela
