Yes, just so TBT, I've lost count of the number of times I have been "interviewed" for inappropriate antics, not that I was ever blameworthy of course :wink: I don't have time nowadays though, I'm not in the office long enough and most of the time there's no one there.

Some of the tales would make your hair curl maisy. I was once in a group that was "isolated" from the rest of the office because our behaviour was questionable and completely unacceptable, there was about seven of us, kept on a different floor to everyone else - but only for 4 years or so :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

That sounds bad DV....like something out of the American Penal System! :shock: Did the Management come in Regularly and Hose you down with a Fire Hose and make you s**t in a Bucket in the Corner? I hope they issued you with sunglasses when they eventually released you from your solitary confinement? :whistle

Mind you if you were stuck with your like minded mates it was probably great not having to put up with the other dick heads in your office. :hmmmm

None of the staff would come down, managers only when they had to. They sometimes sent newbies down, they didn't last more than 2 weeks. Even old hands wouldn't stay down with us. Mind this was long before DRAW, looking back though :shock: We were always the last to leave because of the messing about. One of the lads was actually undergoing psychiatric treatment - he fitted in really well! I don't know if it was everyones good old days but we certainly had a good time.
