Lunch

[Joe Black]

Best of a bad lot in the clients canteen.

Fishcakes, Chips and Green Beans.

At least the coffee is free.

Yep, I knows what its like. Currently working in a place with a cafe/bistro open from 7am-7pm, a restaurant serving so many things from so many countries I don't know what to choose, outdoor garden and tables with fountains, and barbecue when the sun is out....

It's tough, but you just have to think long term.

Hyper, tales of Gunson et al are my favourite!

I tell you what Churchill, it was exactly like that! Don't fly Orient Thai Airlines is all I can say...

Sadly, 4 pints of Guinness for me for lunch in the sun for two and a half hours.

But at least I was talking to a 747 pilot!! And such great stories... will post if anyone is bored enough on a Friday to be interested...

Two hours lunch with great salad and bottle of wine on the river for me. Can't wait for London, eat a processed sarnie at your workstation lunches !

Doesn’t the current wash it downstream?

At desk, no way - more like down the boo*er downing a few ... if you need "assistance" settling into the City life, give me a shout my dear...

Now I've had the roast beef at Simpson's and very nice it was too. Yorkshire Pudding was a bit chewy but the wine was good enough that I dont remember what it was, apart from red

Jugged hare for me today I think.

Scrummy.

For heaven's sake, DaveB, fishcake and chips in the client's canteen? This is a contractors' site. Come along for a roast beef luncheon at Simpson's with the rest of us real contractors.

Ah, but the coffee is supplied by the Client, not by myco. As such I receive no BIK from my employer (myco) to be taxed on.

It's also available to all visitors, contractors, permies, cleaners and anyone who makes it past the front desk ( not hard ) so cant be classed as an employee perk either
