Lunch Question

How often do you eat lunch at your desk? Just wondering really might be quite interesting to see some of the answers and reasons why you do what for lunch.

Re: Lunch Question

Always eat at my desk, usually after I've been for a run.

Re: Lunch Question

I either go to Subway or eat a pack up, we are not allowed to eat at our desks.

I work in Glasgow, three minutes and I'm on a path next to the river Clyde and on to Glasgow Green. Is nice.

Agree with you though - I'd hate to be breathing exhaust constantly. I rarely go running outdoors when in London.

How on earth in your lunch hour do you find time to change clothes/run/clean yourself up/change clothes/eat?
