I am supposed to be working, but am in fact staring out of the window and thinking about the 90's when I was in my 20's!

I have just remembered a place called Caspers in London which had a number and a phone on every table, so you could ring the table of anyone you fancied and chat them up. Does anyone else remember it? It was carnage!

@GreenClock

I don’t recall this! Sounds like a laugh.

We used to go to Pollo for cheap pasta in the 1990s then on to the Marquee club via a couple of bars.

And the Wag too. And then got free taxis home coz they never charged student nurses, bless their socks.

I went there! I remember the awkwardness of a boy ringing the table and you couldn't see him or what he looked like, or he wanted to talk to your friend instead.

Also remember a club called LimeLight and the Milk Bar?

The Astoria on Tottenham Court Road and of course, The Wag Club - I thought I'd made it when it got in there.

I was also at the opening night of Ministry of Sound - really showing my age.

Casanovas nightclub in Wakefield also had phones on the tables

I remember this. It was so noisy that even if you rang anyone you couldn’t hear what was being said. Probably as well. 😂

Yes, Limelight!

I was just thinking of that place. Couldn't remember the name but had many a great evening and fun in my younger days!!! Thanks for the memory and providing the name. I assume it folded up years ago???
