That's about as annoying as Subway caving in to calls for ham to be withdrawn from certain stores, if you don't like it, don't go in there. FFS

This always makes me think of a former colleague who would have fisherman's pie at least once a week and heat it in the microwave in the office. She was really lovely, but I hated her for that alone! (I don't do fish and the smell makes me feel sick)

Forget HR. He should have been reporting you to your GP.

I didn't either ruffers! Thought back in the 80s people actually did make time for lunch or going down the pub. The way it should be before hot desk call centre hell type offices came into fashion where no-one dared leave their desk.


edit: suffers?!

Yes think Jeremy hit the nail on the head, fish nuked in microwave. Never a good thing in a communal kitchen.

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
