    I used to pop into Sainsbury's over the road from work, grab a couple of danishes, walk into the office. Make cup of tea, sit and read the paper with it.
    I quite like Subway for breakfast... hardly going to be worse quality than other breakfast sandwiches

    I used to alternate between a Subway sandwich or a couple of caramel doughnuts from Greggs when I worked in Newcastle.

          Mass produced, processed sh!te.

            If a client has a reasonable breakfast on offer then I tend to get in early miss the traffic. Set my day up while noshing down.

            I also tend to hold meetings early and bribe the attendees with food. A bacon sandwich seems to have the same bribery value as a day on triple time for the average junior engineer...

              I just can’t face food at 5:20 am so yes I have my porridge at my desk: but I do get in 30min early so I can have lots of coffee & catch up on the news

              Unless it's Friday in which case it’s the site meeting with provided breakfast (& this being a construction site pig products are involved)

                Prefer dunkin' donuts but I'm not sure we have them in the UK.

                  Rant over.
                  Ask yourself what else does one do first thing, and next time bring a potty into work

                  I never bother with breakfast anyway. What's the point when it's only 4 hours until lunchtime?

                    Probably worth the same.

                    +1 for cycling in & eating muesli at my desk.

                      I dont usually get the train to work but have to this week. I've never seen anything like it! yesterday there was a girl with her foot about 6inches from somebody's face manicuring it, picking out all the jam from her toenails.

                      Today I was stuck between a woman doing her make-up, powdering her face, with powder going everywhere, and the penis-forehead on the other side was having a shave!!!!

                      Can't people get ready before leaving the house!!! I nearly bust a blood vessel this morning, I feel like Michael Douglas in Falling Down!!
