So I only bring this up as a Socio Work Politic thingy but if anyone in the workplace I currently resides has the right to indulge in the consumption of their drug of choice on an hourly basis without it seems any ramifications, why can't I have a G+T at the same intervals in a similarly designated tulipty area around the dumpster bins and share with everyone what's really going on and bitch about the annoying office idiots? Different drug same Sh&t?

Surprised that's still allowed, my last ClientCo banned smoking on site, during working hours or not, and let it be known that they wouldn't expect staff to stand in front of the gates smoking as it would not be a good image for the company.Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment
