    Other than that i always stick to the 6PM deadline give or take a bit

    Hahaha, whatever floats yer boat, chaps. My 'watershed' is anytime after 12 noon!

    As I'm self-employed (although semi-retired) and work from home, it's not unknown for me to have a couple of glasses of wine or a beer with lunch - especially in the summer when the weather is nice!

    Of course, I can go for a wee nap afterwards, if I choose, before going back to the grind

    Ah, it's a hard life!

    Marco.

    I'm in at 30 with a bullet.

    It would appear that my old mate DSJR has far too much time on his hands..

    If your lunch break is unpayed as most peoples are then there isn't a lot they can do about it.

    Also unless you signed a new employment contract which states that drinking is banned on lunch breaks & you accept the fact i'd simply ignore it as they don't have a leg to stand on

    Cheers
