That's about as annoying as Subway caving in to calls for ham to be withdrawn from certain stores, if you don't like it, don't go in there.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

We think they left the space cleaner than when they arrived, and we are definitely already getting the effects of a warmer room" – Miriam & Abed, Sevenoaks, Oct 2025 "Laurence and his team were extremely polite & helpful, and the work was performed over just 2 days with minimal disruption. It was absolutely the most relaxed work I have ever had performed on the house!" – Alistair, Cambridge, July 2025 "Extremely friendly, polite and efficient" – Diane, Forest Hill, June 2025 We are always keen to chat through your floor insulation options and provide as much free advice as we can, as well as free quotes and surveys – so why not ask us today about what is possible to protect your floors from the cold ventilation air blowing underneath, keep your heat in and warm up your home? We use high-performance mineral wool slabs, never foam, for so many reasons: it is the ideal flexible material for the irregularities of old floors; is breathable, working with the way your floor has successfully performed for perhaps 100 years or more; can easily be removed to access pipes and cables; and is completely non-combustible. A local business based in Crystal Palace, we work extensively around Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Lewisham, Tooting, Balham and across the south East of England. Please ask us about your floor insulation options or for local project case studies today!

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires. 
    • Such a shame as Dells is fantastic - a decent local business providing a great service to residents.
    • Ha ha that's hilarious - how wonderfully embarrassing for Reform!
