30 mins at roughly 12noon.and listen to radio 2

[Klean07]

I bet majority of 30 mins plus brigade are smokers too hence taking longer for their breaks!!

Good grief - i couldn't work after a cooked lunch 

I would never stop during the day - maybe/just maybe the odd 5 mins as i like to keep going and finish earlier but now
i have some1 with me we take 2 15 min breaks...

Good idea. So, it feels like two hours.

I have a 20 / 30 min break around 1pm / 1:30pm..  I look forward to the break, and always make sure I have less work to do in the afternoon than in the morning!

Express only, eat sandwich on the way work until finished them home
Whats the point having 30-60 mins break unless you working 10 hrs plus a day

[bad trippy]

Lunch is for whimps like Frank

[paul marshall]

Yeaaap I eat my sandwiches in about 2min flat on the days I remember to make it! If not there's always a wide variety of biscuits on offer throughout the day! Big hot lunches tend to make u wanna lie down somewhere!!

I used to clean a big detached house out in the sticks, with thick leaded windows inside and out. It used to take me all day, but it was well worth it.

There were always other guys working at the same time, gardener, builder etc.

Tea was served up regularly throughout the day, and at lunchtime we were always treated to a gorgeous roast meal.

Up till last week my typical day was on first job at 9-30 with no breakfast and work through till 3-30 ish no lunch no breaks and prob only 6 hours sleep night before ... worked like this for last 18 months.

Started this week by getting at least 8 hours sleep, on 1st job for 8 till 8-30 with a proper breakfast inside me, break in morning, 20 mins for lunch, afternoon break and working till 5.

Dont think I could do 8 till 5 without proper breaks and a rest midday.

Went thru a phase of drinking monster energy drinks but turned p iss green

how in the HELL did you do that  I'm munching on the go most of the day, sandwich here, apple pie there. If I went without breakfast I'd probably be dead by about 9.15

sorta just drifted into habit as when first starting out with a handful of customers u can take a late start and not working hard no need for rest lunch etc but still did it when round got fuller so bad habit.

did the maths on starting an hour and half earlier and working an hour later makes a difference to bottom line but had to adjust rest and food intake to be more consistent in my workload.
