Anyone remember the loosely named 5 o’clock club which met every Thursday (Yes you guessed it, At 5 o’clock) In the bar of the Carlisle Truckinn during the Eighties/Nineties?
Members where usually Identified by the company they worked for or their home town. Tony off ‘Alida’ (Transport) Ripley. Roger ‘Vallance’ (V70 Putty) Morley. Tony ‘Metal Closures’ Birmingham. Frank ‘Taveners’ (Sweets) Liverpool. Tony Di Gioia ‘Lebus’ (Furniture) Newbury. Etc Etc.
You may have been a member. You didn’t need a membership card or pay a joining fee. The only rules were to be there and drink beer before going clubbing in Carlisle!
