It was back in the days when Sat and Sun movie sessions were all numbered seats. And we ushers and usherettes would use our torches to guide you there.
I had always thought it would be cool to be an usher since I was a kid and saw them in a movie. 'You get to watch movies for free!' I thought. Of course, the reality of the job meant various duties that took up movie watching time.
One of them was changing the giant plastic letters on the marquee with a 10 metre long claw pole. At least that was fun. I did end up watching a few movies hundreds of times - Chariots of Fire, The Howling, Cannonball Run - spring to mind - now there's a mixed bag of lollies!
