Big fan of it.

How do I know this? If you work a five day week with five weeks holiday and bank holidays on top there are 225 working days per year. I used to work in management, this is the stuff you learn.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t take my own lunch to work. I don&#8217;t want to have to organise anything else in my life so I rely\u00a0on supermarkets, sandwich shops and cafes. It&#8217;s expensive. If you get a \u00a34 meal deal that&#8217;s \u00a3900. Go to Pret every day and that rises to around \u00a31,700. That&#8217;s two family holidays or four mini-breaks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And let&#8217;s talk about the food. Has a sandwich out of cardboard packet filled you with delight? No, it hasn&#8217;t? This is food as fuel and that&#8217;s sad. This isn&#8217;t about clean eating (that is a very long rant) or any other marketing ploy. This is about getting the most joy out of our daily lives as possible and a wilted cheese sandwich doesn&#8217;t cut it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s time to jazz up lunch time. A new lunch box and some new tastes. Life is too short to waste on bad food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like food. Big fan of it.
