It was thought desirable to widen one's experience by working in a different environment and I thus went down to 'improve' with Sadler & Baker at Camberley. A combination was in rented rooms with shared kitchen; two ladies sharing one kitchen is not conducive to a happy atmosphere.

Philip Rowlinson, in charge of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors professional examinations was a strong and professional character who was quick to correct some of my errors. Nevertheless he could not prepare me for the day when a most attractive applicant, with considerable décolletage, wanted me to show her a building site in Frimley Wood. The job took most of the afternoon and she eventually bought the plot for eight hundred pounds.

I didn't get too fat on the salary of five pounds a week, especially considering the digs cost two pounds fifty.
