    Really miss the old fridays from mid 2000s London.

    Graphic design studios in Soho, Clerkenewell, Shoreditch... the absolute best!

    Start winding work down at about 3pm.
    Still at a desk but cranking music on the design studio stereo.
    Someones got some beers in and handing them out.
    Last email sent to the client, meet everyone downstairs in the pub.
    Get bought rounds by the creative director.
    Four or five pints with no dinner.
    8PM and we're already steaming.

    The night was young and so were we.

    • We are still doing this. Not every friday, but most. And maybe only starting after 5.Longcopylover
    • The best bit about being underpaid was teh amount of beers we used to get bought, with never any expectation that you'd have to contribute. Bliss!DaveO
