HELP! Any thoughts on the occupation - Line 1 ?

Geraldine53 3 months ago

I've come across that before, Dudders. There really is such an occupation as Viceman! Operator of a vice for making repairs, in this case to parts of signals, I guess.

Also, in Row 10, the location is Cwmbach, rather than Cumbach. (Welsh-speaking granny in my ear.)

Thanks, both changes made.
