    One place I contracted at, the seat I was given was so disgusting I thought somebody had died in it and nobody had noticed the corpse for a few months. Quietly swapped it for another vacant one.

    I tend to avoid doing that at all costs
    You're half right it was rubbish, not so cheap. Usual subsidised stuff, where they charge the client £3 for a sandwich, then charge you £3 for a sandwich, which tastes like a 99p smart price one from ASDA. What a great business to be in.

    Before, one hopes, the food passed through them

    The only things I eat at my desk are the doughnuts and other confectionery people buy on their birthday.

    Not if I can avoid it. I like my break to be a break, even when my regular day is doing sweet feck all. Historically there was no way I'd be guaranteed to eat my lunch if I was that easy to find and it's often the only time I can read in peace.

    Too sparse on details.

    1) How long were they an in patient?
    2) Did they remove the appendage?
    3) Did they ever walk straight, again?
    4) Was their other half fit?
    5) If the answer to 4 was a yes, did you go round and comfort her, during this distressing time of need?
