Just interested to see if you take a lunch break, how long you get and whether your company 'frowns' upon them.

I work in the motor trade and most places I've worked lunch breaks are unofficially frowned upon.

I realise there's fook all they can do and you don't get paid to work them anyway but was wondering what everyone else does?

I try and take a lunch break, but it mainly consists of running over to M&S in Bromley and then eating at my desk whilst doing more work.

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

I suppose it is better than a dry cracker.

"Everything is air-droppable at least once."

"When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support."

officially we get an hour but usually I am too busy so I just pop to the shops to buy food and eat at my desk. I like to make sure that I get out as a bit of 'fresh' air and a walk breaks up the day.

I wouldn't say taking a full hour is frowned upon here but no one takes a full hour because we're so busy and it will probably mean working late to get things done. Sometimes I have to work through lunch.

That said, today I took an early lunch, phoned my dad about Cup Final plans, got my haircut, and went to Tesco to buy some food, so it's swings and roundabouts.

I completely agree

You waited til lunchtime? Should have been relaxing after your 3rd one by then!

You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.
