No joke reply... 

 

Worked for Barclays UK at Radbroke Hall in the 80's/90's (about 3,500 staff mainly IT people) & we had our own pub on site + Tennis Courts, Rugby/Football/Cricket Pitches, Gym, Squash Courts, Bowling/Putting Greens - We nicknamed it Butlins cos it was more like a holiday camp than an office.

 

Lunch was either a pub lunch or lunch in the canteen followed by a couple of pints.... Lost count of the number of times somebody had a couple too many & fell asleep in the toilets for the afternoon.  

 

The site was in the middle of nowhere but fortunately they put coaches on to the major towns so if you did have a couple too many (or stopped for a couple after work) you could leave the car & get home / back the next morning. 

 

Happy Days ???? 

I worked in the 70's for an engineering company based in Congleton, we worked on that project.
