Rain’s on.

Gonna have a beer at 12.01. A nice 660ml Kronenbourg out the top of the fridge.
Go on, it’s Wednesday!

The cheeky 11.30 absinthe barely touched the sides. Bring on the 12.05 coke and hookers

Tanqueray with tonic, slice of lime and ice. Goes great with breakfast muffins.

Seriously though. I used to live and work in Provence and it was completely normal to call in to the local bar-tabac-PMU for a pre-work Ricard and water. And the canteen sold wine and beers with lunch. It was great!

In my opinion it’s completely normal to nob off and neck a swift one at lunch.

However, most employers frown upon this japery and it gets people sacked.

Very often in my experience of others experience.

Why, however, “professionals” can have a “business lunch” and the stockroom boy at Next cannae, i’ll never know.

A good boozy working lunch is a fine art, especially when your with people from another company get it right and leave without the bill 🙂

The art of never getting caught is a fine art. Much akin with the art of “banter” and “bullshit”.

All of which are important in the spectacularly self-serving industries of Facilities & Operations management.

Yep, there is never getting caught and agreeing to move along. Just like walking into a pub for a sneaky christmas week lunch to find another group doing exactly the same 🙂 Smile, raise a glass and agree to carry on

Everyone who’s ever worked in publishing will be familiar with the sliding scale between the ‘3 pint lunch’ and the ‘getting home at midnight lunch’. Measured on a daily basis.

I really don’t know how my kidneys made it through my 20’s 😳
