the grafton
once a moderately classy place, ballroom, tea dances, that kind of thing. i'd heard stories about how bad it had got, but they just seemed too ludicrous to be true.
about 10 years ago, a friend and i decided to go there(because it was a £10 all-in night) and give it a try. we'd barely walked in the door before spotting a woman on the balcony giving someone a blowjob. a quick look round made it clear that nobody was paying any attention to this. it also revealed another friend of ours, who was well on her way to being shitfaced.
"hey, ali," i said, "can you see what those two up there are doing?"
"oh yeah," she replied, "that's normal."
not sure if it was or not, but we were out of there before balcony woman got off her knees.
