What do you do on your lunchbreak?

JCC

As the title says. I have an hour for lunch and not being close enough to go home, I end up hanging around the city for an hour.

I bring my own lunch to work except for the odd day when I meet a friend, so just wondering, what do other people do on their lunchbreaks around the city?

When I was in the city I'd work through my lunch break most of the time. I'm dedicated to the cause :cool:

having a fixed duration for lunch break sounds something confined to the public sector really. I take about 25 minutes for lunch and that includes a short walk around the business park I work in. If very busy lunch will be at the desk.

I'm outside the city, but I'll eat at my desk usually, maybe go for a walk for half an hour.

Do you ever walk down to Fitzgerald's Park OP? There's a nice loop around the river you can walk for something to fill the time!

Malari, I do go for a walk round Fitzgerald's park the odd time, when it's not raining! I walk that way mainly in the evenings though so i don't like going the same route twice in one day.

The people in Waterstone's were looking at me funny today, spent about 30 mins in there just browsing!

I've done the whole sitting at my desk thing for lunch and gave it up as a bad habit! I don't get enought time outside as it is, come winter I'll be back to looking like an extra for a vampire movie....

I hated my lunch break when I was working in Cork. I'd walk through Mahon industrial estate to the Super Valu on Skehard Road and back again. If I was feeling flush I'd go to the Blackrock Inn. I would have preferred to work through lunch and go home an hour earlier.

when I worked in town years ago we didn't have a break as such, wouldn't fancy an hour at lunchtime to kill everyday in town tbh.
