    Though the Counting House on Cornhill ( cuk drinks venue) does some nice pies ( ask K2P2, she's a big fan) and basic pub grub.
    You calling K2P2 fat! How very dare you!

    Pizza and Salad.

    It was what the staff canteen was serving. At least I did 30 minutes in the gym first. After my cycle into work. Tonight=cycle home plus lake swimming.

They even made a conscious decision to not have a microwave in the new office, in an effort to avoid any food smells, even though there was a separate kitchen. I often wondered if that guy's last day leaving gift was a combined subtle dig as well as a nice gesture, as it clearly had a lasting effect on management thinking!
    Worked at one place where if one person got chicken katsu curry from the Japanese Canteen, then everyone ended up getting it for their lunch as the aroma in the office was so enticing
