First day of a new contract. Do you...

[nomadd]

...take a packed lunch with you?

I hate the overpriced junk-food available at most sites, so always take a packed lunch. Seems to get some people's backs up, particularly on day one, but f*** 'em.

What is the consensus view? Packed? Or go with the flow - even if only for a day?

I'd go with the flow on the first day!

I'd go with the flow on the first day!

But how do you know that the flow is until you are there?

Good point, take your sandwich with you, if everyone's going to the canteen or popping to nandos hide them in your pocket

I go for a pot noodle with the PA.

Surely you get your butler to bring in swans wings?

I take the whole team out to a good restaurant in my Bentley and pay with my black AMEX while pontificating on my next holiday to my villa in Barbados in the chartered jet, just to let them know who's boss

Yes. This is your chance to show them how you roll (pun intended).

Unfold a picnic blanket in the middle of the office, unbuckle your hamper (double entendre not intended) and flop out your cold meats and interesting cheeses.

Pop the cork on a bottle of Dom perignon and cheekily wink at the 19 year old blonde office junior and pat the blanket next to you.

It was a typo, he meant 'over' not 'with'.
