The Office Party - how it used to be.

I came across this the other day.  Probably the closest I personally ever came to one like this was my first office party in my first job.  Not sure that many are like this anymore.

I couldn't work out if that was serious or supposed to be funny 🤣

I watched that the other day..what suprised me was how normal it was to smoke at work.

It was a fab documentary I really enjoyed it!

That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6

I was just saying this to someone the other day, I have a photo of me at my first job in 1995 with an ashtray and 20 B&H on my desk!

In the early eighties, I shared a rather small office with a pipe smoker!
