I hadn't got my ticket then or I might have been tempted but I suspect lack of experience would have set me back. Good thing to have on your CV though, 'Post Master General of Tristan Da Cunha.'

I wrote an application for this job in 1974, but after much thought and discussion with my wife got cold feet and destroyed the letter. I often wonder what would have happened had I sent the letter and been accepted. Now I reckon I made the right decision, but who knows.
