Lunch Break

How long is your lunch break at work?
30 mins plus 15 min break for an 8 hour shift.

What do you do during your break?
Eat my food then read an ebook or watch something on my phone.

That's very generous, I'd love to!

30 mins minimum, 2 hours max. (Flexible working hours).

I can take a break outside core hours but would have to clock out.

Lunch... go out... have a laugh with my work colleagues/friends... a lot of the time just get out of the office and walk to the shops. Sometimes go to the postie.

I have an hour break split Into 2 15 mins and 1 30 mins.

I work in marks and Spencer cafe

Ah Howa

Bring my own lunch in so I can spend as much time with the forum members as possible!

I get a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks during my 8 hour shift. If its an 11 hour shift then it goes up to two 30 minute breaks and two 15 minute ones.

What I eat can vary wildly depending on what I'm in the mood for. Sometimes I make myself some sandwhiches. Sometimes I take in a micowave meal or something along those lines. My work also has a inhouse shop that serves food, so sometimes I have something from there, like a filled roll, baked potato, soup or whatever hot meal they have made for that day.

Never take lunch break, eat a sandwich at my desk and do my emails

GravyMonster · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:11

1 hour. Sometimes eat at my desk, sometimes go to a pool hall not too far away for 30 mins.

1 Hour (Have to take it) in a 7.5 hour day with breaks.

Jay794 · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:14

1 hour lunch break plus 2 breaks of 15 minutes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, most of the time I don't bother with the 15 minute breaks, I get paid for the full 12 hour shift regardless, I usually watch stuff on my phone or go on facebook and twitter

9 till 4 with 1 hour lunch break, I just sit at my desk and browse the interweb, nothing decent to do near my work and it's a small company so nobody to lunch with.

dannyjo22 · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:18

It's about 10 hours of a 12 hour working shift

So no one takes a lunch break and I don't even have an official time. I'm sat in a crew room or office with a 50 inch plasma, multiple internet access pc's and can play the xbox if I like. I think they would get a bit narked if I started taking official lunch breaks as well

DJMK4 · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:19

I only pop out to the bakery usually and sit at my desk browsing for a bit.

Hardly see the point going and staying out, not when its cold and raining.

But technically we are supposed to get 30 minutes

:(Rhodri:) · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:19

I get an hour, I tend to grab something to eat and play a couple of rounds of BF3.

DAnDan · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:20

Work 8-4 (flexible hours) with 1 hour for lunch, and 2 15 minute breaks.

m0rte · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:28

9-5, 1 hour lunch
Most days i'll eat my lunch then go for a ~45min walk.

Freefaller · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:30

I don't. I just graze whilst working. I sometimes stop, but I seldom have time to...

I never have anywhere to go as the offices I work at are usually in the middle of nowhere or in industrial estates.

says the guy that posts on a forum from work...
