Today is Work Your Proper Hours Day in the UK. A laudable initiative, you might think.
However, someone who I know from somewhere has quite a good counterpoint: "Im always late and i always take about an hour and a half for lunch, plus i spend at least 2 hours a day reading stuff on the net. there’s no fucking way you’ll get me to work my proper hours."
A more important question is "What did people do all day at work before there was ‘Shot by both sides’ to comment on?"
