Summer Holiday Job at N.Z.I. / South British Insurance
I worked in the 1980's in Alexandra House, the newer one, for an insurance company, for a few weeks: franking envelopes and mailroom duties.
The best thing was the train station was located in the actual buildiing, so to get to Central from Kowloon, where I lived, it only took ten minutes, on the MTR.
There were some huge policies (oil wells, nuclear reactors, etc) being covered, I noticed.
