Just looked at your linked in profile and think I left before you were there.....1980 I left. Couldn't stand the fact that we could write business systems i.e. sales/purchase/ nominal and database apps etc. with the 1500 Series (later to be castrated and renamed to the DRS series) when ICL had great delight in telling us all that their flagship 7500 terminal could actually now do check digit verification.... Gee whiz!
