Funky Friday

Funky Friday was a well known ice skating dance/party in London, UK held at Streatham Ice Skating Rink on Friday evenings/nights which no longer occurs. The popular UK rapper Dave who hails from Streatham uses the lyrics “We come through like Funky Friday and have all of your mandem skating” in his track featuring Fredo, suggesting that Dave himself has been to a Funky Friday and uses his connection with Streatham as a way of associating with this event. It brings a little bit of nostalgia to anyone who grew up in the time when Funky Fridays was still around.

Dressing-gown Friday

The practice of working from home on a Friday. Has become widespread with the advent of the broadband connection. The practice originates from the 1980s, when bankers, lawyer and other professionals elected to have a day of dressing casually on Friday, so they would not ruin their suits with spilt beer in the evening. This was known as dress-down Friday. However the act of selecting casual clothes prroved beyond these individuals who now simply just work from home in their dressing gown.
