Fortunately, Robbie Rudnev wasn't one of the nearby residents who hid in the newspaper office.
Robbie Rudnev was the watchman of today's Belfast Newspaper. However, more than ten years ago, he was one of the most efficient workers at the newspaper, even two or three sturdy lads couldn't match his printing speed.
He had thought that the ink and the machines would accompany him until he was too old to move, but four years ago, the newspaper underwent an update, replacing the manual printing machines with cheaper and faster automatic ones.
Robbie Rudnev thus retired. Luckily, the newspaper boss was a kind-hearted man, and although he sold almost all the manual machines and laid off most of the old fellows who had worked there for more than ten years, he kept him.
Perhaps because the boss knew he once was a sturdy lad himself.
