I then suggested to him tactfully that he might advise his fellow directors to pursue other priorities and never heard anything about it again.

Do companies generally monitor internet usage on such a level?
Unfortunately I'm in an open plan office at work, with some right jobsworths behind me, so daren't even risk browsing CUK or anything non-work related except at lunchtime when everyone else is doing it.
