I have a very lax attitude towards this but there presumably must be a cut off.
Personally lunching depends on when I start the day and justifications can be made when the calendar is hellish but anything after 11:20am is fair game imo.
Lunch at 11:45
Go out and get a massive flapjack at Sainsbury’s at 1:30ish
Put on loads of weight SOMEHOW, although the actual reason i stopped was because the person at the cake counter knew exactly what I was gonna buy and would sometimes bag it up as I was walking up, which was just so embarrassing, so very very embarrassing
The sandwich man (that’s the company name, not me being patronising / sexist) comes to our work at around 10:30, so sometimes I have to sit with a nice juicy butty staring at me for the rest of the morning.
In such trying circumstances, any time from 11:30 is fair game.
But then there’s a snowball effect and I end up wanting my tea / dinner early and then eat snacks before bed.
Used to buy the packets of TTD cookies in Sainsbury’s and have one each day throughout the week. Only four in a pack so there was one sad day. Thank Christ I now work in middle of rural nowhere and Londis is a 30 min walk.
