I have one memory of Revolution. It was my mate Pete’s birthday in about 2002.
He was a giant farming-stock guy from rural Northern Ireland. We ordered him a round the works tour, which was 12 vodkas, one of which was chilli flavoured.
He smashed the lot in 10 seconds flat and only grimaced slightly with the chilli one.
He was ordering shots 20 minutes later. That would’ve killed me.
Here’s the secret. Revolution shot boards were weak arse shit.
I dunno. 12 is still wild as a starter.
For reasons that remain beyond my comprehension, company Christmas party was organised in Revolution one year. For me it became two visits in one go, first and last. Good riddance.

I see one of their reasons for going bust is the increase in the minimum wage. OK comrade…
