Ah, heady days, yr 2000 work (1500 quid for New Years Day afto playing video games) Mike Green cup 5-a-side in the summer at lunch (40 teams, 300 watching the final, very nerve-wracking), off to a country pub at lunch with some spendid filly or another, contractors getting fancy cars and annoying the permie proles, you could also work and charge for any hours you wanted to do e.g.10-12 hours a day and there was 7 days work if you wanted it.
Apparently it's a nightmare in there now, outsourcing and other 'initiatives' have squeezed all the good stuff out and they are turning the bar into a starbucks....Comment
