    O/T Diets

    Forget the 3 day 800 calorie fast diet try the eggs and wine diet which was actually published in the 1970s Vogue magazine

    Looks very much like a form of the Atkins protein only diet but tuned to alcoholism 🤣

    I eat two pieces of lettuce a day, and sometimes an orange.
    I run ten miles every morning.
    I am as miserable as f uck but at least I haven't got a gut.😂

    I was born a few years too late, can’t imagine how anyone got anything done in the 70s …

    Maybe this explains the 3 day weeks and strikes

    Yes indeed, productive times back then, lunchtimes in the pub or wine bar, wasn’t work fun!

    When I worked at Thompsons they had a social club, and we all went up at lunchtime for a few jars. All except on a Friday when we went to the Forge Hammer instead.
    I remember singing The Wild Colonial Boy a few times in the afternoons.

    Actually, sounds like my sort of diet, Chablis is a nice wine, especially with fish such as halibut!

    When I first started at Reuters if you had an afternoon meeting with a client or anything really you could order up a bottle of wine, wasn’t unusual to have a 3 hour lunch whereby at least 2 bottles or 4-5 pints were drunk, surprisingly the work got done long hours worked even deducting the lunches! Good old days in many respects but it was a very bullish/overtly ***ist male dominated time in the city.

    A happy workforce is a productive workforce.
    The old place's treated you like family with social clubs, trips and Christmas parties.
    People are scared to go to the toilet today.
