Even get ten mins on this forum lol.
So what about everyone else, what do you do for lunch breaks
-
If I am out for the day (9am or earlier until 3pm or later) I nearly always take a packed lunch and a flask of coffee (cold fizzy drinks in the summer).
This usually consists of:
2 cheese and pickle rolls (sometimes Ham and Tomato)
1 packet of crisps
1 Apple
1 Pear
1 individual Bakewell tart
I start this at about 12.15 to 12.45 in the van listening to either Jeremy Vine, Radio 4 or Radio Bristol. I also check for any messages too. I take about 20 minutes.
The main exception is when I do a factory once a month which takes about 3 hours and I start at about 8 am and have a late full English breakfast and a mug of tea at about 10 am in their canteen for the princely subsidised sum of £2.50.
-
Steak pie from Gerrard's bakery. Best steak pies ever. I've even got a pie loyalty card with them. Buy 20 pies get 1 free.
-
Generally 10-15 mins. Packed lunch or local shop.
-
Dominos gluten free pizza ;D
-
I eat on the move between houses...If I stop for a propper lunch break I get demotivated and can't get back into the flow of working!
-
Don't eat anything I find I work faster on empty stomach eat when I get home usually 2 pm latest.
-
always a packed lunch and a 20-30 min lunch break.
sandwich of some sort(turkey,ham,beef or cheese with salad)on wholemeal bread/wrap(only the best meat you can buy)
pot of yoghurt,cereal bar(usually protein flapjack)and an apple
flask of tea and a bottle of water
in winter ill take a hot flask of soup instead of a sandwich occasionally.
-
i never go to the chip shop/bakery for lunch and no pies ever.i used to though (many moons ago!). ;D
i cant get away with it these days at 45 years of age.
-
Tescos car park with a packed pasta salad. Love it. Reminds me of when I used to park up and down a bottle of vodka. ;D
-
Aye, those were the days!
-
MacDonald's for breakfast
MacDonald's for lunch
MacDonald's for dinner
I'm on a diet...
-
Depends what custards want to offer me during the day as I can spend a few hours on/at a single property. Therefore most times I get quite well fed and watered so stopped taking food and drink out with me.
Best one was a full English from an old boy next door in the middle of nowhere. Mind I did offer to clear his gutters for free whilst doing a full exterior property clean for a landlord at the time. That included FSG's, windows & doors, conservatory in/out, paving, patio areas etc so I was there for a wee while.
I could make a long list of what I've been offered but that would just make me feel hungry. lol

Is that why you are small and perfectly formed ;D
-
I have a bag of hot gravel :)
-
Sandwiches on the hoof usually....don't like stopping......maybe a coffee if offered,
Rather work through and finish early and miss traffic.
-
Home for about an hour generally
-
Lunch is for wimps.
And I don't want to get gravy on my red braces.
-
I dont like stopping, thats why i generally just stop for 5-10 mins to eat a sarnie then crack on. Stop for much longer and i lose my rhythm and slow down and cant be arsed etc.
Start at 8:30 and go like a man possesed until i run out of steam somewhere around 2pm
-
I usually nip home for pork in cider.
-
No breakfast/no lunch am fully 'Keto' so for me eating just isn't that important as when I was eating 'normally'.... Eat only evening meal/Netflix snacks.... Also find taking breaks at work doesn't suit me...rather crack-on and 'Job n Knock'.
