    I used to work in the copier/fax business when it was all booming in the 80s. I remember going out one lunchtime with a few of the older guys and then coming back and seeing one of them setting fire to his desk as he was bored.
    Ah the good old days...

    I worked in an office in the 80’s and the managers often went to the pub lunchtimes. They came back half-cut and then smoked a few cigs in the office - different times for sure.

    I work in insurance in The City and it's nothing like that now, for a start we don't drink larger and black it's mainly wine and Ploughman's Lunches and Shepherd's Pie is now replaced by steaks and Curry's more often than not.
