The first language I learned was FORTRAN, on the CEGB mainframe at my dads work (Nottingham Grid Control Center). I programmed/updated a few reports that were used by the engineers for a number of years as part of their control of the (east midlands) grid. As far as I know they were still in use until the early 1980's when the control centre closed.
