it would never have happened in my day!
I worked there starting in 1995 shortly after the Telegraph had launched (in November 1994) the UK's (World's?) first daily news website as Electronic Telegraph.
At the time, we did nightly updates taking copy from the print edition to put online. Each edition was produced by just three people to start with. On the nights I was on shift, one of my tasks was to check through the whole update for problems before putting it live.
I never, ever let any problems slip through...
and never ever had to race back to Canary Wharf in the middle of the night to fix things....
honestly....
Oh and coincidentally, the original deskspace for the site on the 11th floor of One Canada Square was right next to obituaries!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
