Yes, David B, I worked at Gestetners for two years, 1967-69. In fact I was working there when I got married. Don't remember any of the shenanakins that you refered to though colleagues did make a fuss of you when there was a wedding, infact I still have some of the bits and pieces that were made for me. I worked in the wages office and remember that our supervisor was called Miss Trett, no first name terms in those days. I have fond memories of the tea trolley coming round, much better than any machine and the dripping sandwiches were brilliant, don't think cholestrol had been discovered. Tottenham Hale is now just another retail park. Generations of my family worked at Dickenson, close to Gestetner. I believe that the Alexander Cafe may still be there. Unfortunately, these factories disappeared when Britain ceased to be a manufacturing country and the national pass time became shopping!!
