Sexism, swearing and a gripping murder mystery to solve – welcome to the 80s newsroom

I've just arrived in the offices of the Guardian. "Where the bloody hell have you been?" says the features editor, pulling hard and angrily on a Benson & Hedges. I am a few minutes late, to be fair; big night out last night. So I take out my hip flask and give him a swig. Scotch, that should appease him. It seems to do the trick. He grunts and nods at the new bird on the fashion desk. "Legs so long you'd need a pilot's licence to get her knickers down," he says, laughing. Knowing him, he will have a pop as well. I laugh too, all the lads do.

There's a work experience girl in – quite cute, a bit chubby. Dead annoying though, she seems to think she's going to be a journalist, ha ha ha. »
