    Pretty much any public sector worker, when I go into these government offices, heating still on, windows open, lots of coffee breaks, very little urgency, playing of solitaire/freecell, etc....etc...

    I must be in the wrong part of the public sector. The last time I had access to minesweeper at work was when I was in the private sector. I think I might have a game now, just for old times sake.

    You can't even access hotmail from council offices these days, let along play solitaire. It's as if they actually want people to work! Who'd have thought it.
