Not that you'd ever try and insist on that, because you're a fucking mug.

Either this or simply don't work while on your lunch. It's a lunch *break* for a reason.

Tell me you work for the civil service without telling me you work for the civil service

I'd always assumed this was how office based jobs worked anyway..

No, by law you have to have a break. Any company allowing this is breaking the law.

We used to eat sandwiches at our desk whilst working, but then did a half hour walk as our break.

You can just go home an hour early anyway, no one is stopping you

You're probably only working at 50% efficiency if your mouth and hands are full of sammidge. Call it half an hour, and leave at 4:30.

If you work through your lunch break you are a loser 👍

If you are working right through your lunch break, your boss should be forcing you to do something else for at least half an hour.

Legally you can leave when you want. You’re not an indentured servant. Contractually you may have an issue.

No, you take a break, away from the desk, don't be an idiot.

not disagreeing with this, but if you're the only person in the office that does this (and leaves work at 17.01), then I wonder how much of a team player you are? okay, nothing technically wrong here, but still...
