The problem with sitting in a crewroom these days is that some senior will walk in and instantly give you a job - regardless of what you are doing. Playing Uckers became an invitation to some long arduous and usually boring task that led to no gratification whatsoever. The result is that few crewrooms are now used as everyone rushes in, grabs a coffee and then departs to shut themselves ointo their office to show how busy they all are.
I would be interested to see if the card games and uckers return, but I am afraid that, like a busy Officers' Mess bar in mid-week, they are a thing of the past.
