Sisters and Matrons. Thelma Craddock, who qualified in 1944, remembers:
I got so ticked off by this sister that I went to her one day in her little
office and said, “Sister, why don’t you ring up Matron and get rid of me, I’m such a source
of annoyance and you’d be much better off without me.” Somehow things changed and I was
always being sent off to do jobs for her, even sent into St Albans to her bank. Her writing
was so terrible and the Manager said, “This doesn’t look like Miss Turner to me on this
cheque.” “Oh,” I said, “you should try reading the Day Report!”
