[Drinking] Lunchtime Drinking (70s80s)
- Thread starter Peacehaven Wild Kids
- Start date
Wasn’t The Sun on Kingsway? At my first job in Tavistock Sq in 1987, we had company drinks after work in The Sun. I was introduced to the senior partner there not realising my tie had fallen into the pint of beer I was holding whilst trying to impress him as a shiny new graduate.
As did I and my work colleagues, but I didn't/don't smoke. Them were the days.
In the 80's/90's l worked in Worthing and ran a computer dept and so led the way into lunchtime drinking.
I then joined the supplier of our computer system in their East Grinstead Office. On my first week my branch manager left to work in Head Office, so he took us all (about 20 of us) to the local Chinese for lunch, where we ate everything in sight and literally drank out way through the wine list (it was a reasonably small restaurant and we'd taken it over), until the restaurant manager went out to get some more wine.
It kind of set the pattern for 6 glorious years.
Them were the days.
