    Lunch

    Best of a bad lot in the clients canteen.

    Fishcakes, Chips and Green Beans.

    At least the coffee is free.

    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

      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.

        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

              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...

                Doesn’t the current wash it downstream?

                  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...
