    Explain to your Boss that you need to be released for meals, ask for a bag meal or put in a Service Complaint.

    At Aki tea is 4.30 to 6.30 i think lunch is 12.30 to 2.30 but not sure and couldnt tell you about breakfast, We are only an expert at tea time os its cheaper than buying from ermes every day, and in this heat it saves me washing up and cooking, the kitchen is not my favourite place 6 months of the year and is shut untill it goes cold lol :D:rotfl:
    back to comping in 2017, fingers crossed :beer:
