Following on from recent posts such as 'Tea' and 'Coffee', and in light of todays news article:

BBC Item (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-21364588)

How many people here actually take their allotted lunch hour, and really use it for a break. Or do you rush around, work through, do something you won't have time for later?

Personally I try to take the time if I can, going to the pub for a (non-alcoholic) drink, and game of darts. But so often I'm out and about and miss a lunch, or have too much work to do to stop...

Today, for example, I had to go to site, so I ended up working half of my lunch to make up for some of the missed time, before popping to the supermarket to grab some food and then sit at my desk typing this.

So.... Answers in the poll please.

I get a sarnie and eat while I work. No time for breaks.

I make sure I take my full half hour (it is a legal requirement afterall :)) and I'll have rolls most days, Fridays are my treat-day and I'll have something more fun...

I used to get sausage rolls and other pastries every so often but all the good bakers shut down in Glasgow because of Greggs and their cheap low quality baking...

its sad that people have given up on quality because there's cheap carp nearby...

Not had an propa break in the last 4 years.
The reason for this is I drive an artic for my sins and if I where to stop for the 45 mins that the law say I have to that would put me behind and I would get home later...

So the truck goes on break whilst im being loaded or unloaded which takes more than fifteen mins then I make sure its on break for 30 mins normally whilst loading and jobs a goodn.

I get home in time to play with the bike :)

I will take 20 mins or so to peruse the Org while munching a sarnie. Nowhere to go around our business park unless I get in the car. I could collect some rotten fruit from the canteen and go throw it at HP (who are right next door) but I cannot be bothered.
