[Closed] Things you used to do in the olden days?

Thats proper lunchtime drinking Binners My lunchtime drinking was done as a student, some lunchtimes could be as long as 60 hours though.
(There may have been some tactical sleeping involved)

The movie?

No. The dog food.

Lunchtime drinking...
Indeed. When I first worked in Manchester in the 90's (granted... it was in meedya), it wasn't unusual for the entire office to relocate to the pub every single lunchtime. A lot of the time it wasn't unusual to not bother going back.

As a copy boy on the Daily Express and Star in the 80's, my job was to find out which pub the editorial team were in and get them back to finish the paper.
🙂

Usually either the Cheshire Cheese, The Land O'Cakes or the Press Club.
Used to take a couple of hours of herding to find them all, inevitability someone would be ill or asleep on the bog somewhere.....
Sunday afternoons especially were always a bit slack, so pretty much everyone would just hit the boozer.
😀

Happy days.

Whatever happened to.....
Proper seasons
White dog poo
The corner shop
Penny Sweets

Buy food without being told it was high in fat/sugar/salt or going to give me cancer or contained a billion additives that would make my hyperactive or anything. And nobody else worrying about any of that either.

Turn up at a place and time arranged without any phone calls from mobile phones.

Funnily enough was talking about this last night to 17 yo daughter.My first climbing trip to the Alps with friends from uni was organised by nothing more than "meet you in the Bar National sometime on June xxth", whereas she can't meet her friends at Costa without twenty million phone calls, texts, snapchats,instagrams etc.

Okay,twenty million, I exaggerate! but you get the picture
