Good idea, other firms should do the same. Alcohol during the working day is not conducive to employees being on top of their game, imo.

Stone me! You're such a bore, Floo. Thank God you're no one's employer. You'd be a right slave driver, I'm sure. A lunchtime pint or three should be written in law, I reckon

Given the impact of alcohol on the disciplinary findings atbLloyd's I think the argument is pretty strong against work day drinking.

As I remember lunch time drinking was a city thing, not a small town thing. It was acceptable to go for a lunchtime drink on somebody's birthday.

What can I say? My generation are now running the show, and what a bunch of prigs we are turning out to be.
