Hi All,

I've just been sent home from work on full pay cos we've had a power cut and apparently they need to evacuate as the reserve power isn't enough to cover health and safety requirments.


SMUG? yes very

Hope you took the wire cutters with you though

Years ago my office block got sent home cos the boiler failed to start as they use to switch it off over the weekend to save money. There were about 150 folk on each of 5 floors that all had to be sent home, on full pay for two days while the fixed it. It was never switched off after that
