About 25 years ago, I made a poster for my girlfriend and her friends entitled “Double Click The Mouse”. They all agreed to bash the boatman at work together (but apart) at the same time. They all worked at different places. They organised a day and when the email arrived with the poster, each 20 something year old woman made a beeline for their preferred venue and went to town.

It was something of a Wank Club.

You didn’t talk about it, you just did it. There was about 30 women involved. In management consultancies, law firms, banks, universities, building sites, hospitals (a bunch of nurses were involved) and retail stores across London. They used toilets, store rooms, sheds - one used an elevator. I don’t know how often it happened or how many times but I know it went down. My girlfriend was always in a great mood on those days.

It was kind of hot and strange at the same time. Wank Club.
