Something that even charity shops would reject. Like this one - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a young 'un it was normal to wear a shirt and tie when out and about on a Saturday night. I'm pretty sure it was required for getting into the 'Disco'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I started a YTS at the council (Finance Dept) when I was 16, all the guys and a few of the ladies would always have a liquid lunch at the boozer. On a Friday, they would send someone back to the office to clock everyone back in and just sit getting pished afternoon. On a few times the Director would be sitting with everyone in the pub. Happy days indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) I worked in a textile mill in the 80s and 90s - there were a few who had a liquid lunch but not that many considering there were a good few boozers within 5 minutes walk. We didn't even have a rule on this although I'm pretty sure it was implied given the type of work.

Salt n Vinegar Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Place I used to work had a few different offices in the city centre. We had flexi-time, but the core hours (when you had to be in the office) were rigidly enforced. One day, during core hours, a bloke picked up a file and said that he was going away for a quick meeting. He appeared back about half an hour later with a haircut. The boss couldn't speak for laughing. No action was taken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
