I do the same, always have done. Never could grasp £3 on a sandwich, though working at a large airport does give rise to great choice. My colleagues find it most amusing that I bring in a lunchbox, currently 'Toy Story 2' but has been Postman Pat in the past, I get the 'hand-me downs' from the kids (so far managed to avoid the Fairy Princess one though).Wow, two pages of replies and a couple of laughs
For cost savings I buy my food weekly at a supermarket and make my lunch on the day, while at work. I spend about £8 a week doing this. Plus I dont have to remember to make it at the end of the evening and remember to bring it to work in the morning (which I always forget). It works for me. .
I work 12hr shifts, so my lunches always have an icepack in with them. We do have 3 communal fridges, I chose not to use them for many of the reasons already stated in this thread, along with the hygiene standards which are somewhat lacking....

How about
How about 'I scratched my goolies with the same hand I packed the cheese with' ...or even better 'I scratched someone elses goolies with the same hand I packed the cheese with'
Writing 'so do I' would mean they lick their own cheese, which is fine with me.

1. Raid the stationary cupboard for some post-it notes.
2. Write 'I lick my cheese' on the post-it note.
3. Attach the post-it note to your cheese.
4. Deposit your cheese in the communal fridge.
5. Cheese is safe, job done.
Or your work mates who believe you to be an illiterate oaf, think you can't spell so eat your cheese as they think you mean like

This thread is a storm in a tea cup.
My food is all passed it's sell by date as it was clearance 10p so no-one touches it

Re your employers - they can do what they want. You have no grounds for complaint. Just be thankful you have a job.

Why not get your own personal fridge? I've seen a few of these at work next to people desks. Just google 'mini fridge'.
I've got so many bikes I don't have any space for wine.
So where do you keep your wine?

Fold the end of the bag loosely under the cheese to allow a bit of air around it, before putting it in the fridge.[/quote]
Sounds painful.

This will almost certainly result in another post-it saying "So do I"

Forgot to say, when I visited Cheddar caves the local cheese company was renting some space in the caves, as the temperature in there is very stable all year round. I can't remember what the temperature was, but maybe Cheddar keeps better than Cheshire.
So where do you keep your wine?

Cheddar Caves are at a stable 11c. Caves with active streamways vary rather more and oop in't Dales they were around 8c at warmest and as low as 6c with meltwater flowing.
And fridges are too cold for wine, as well as cheese. In fact they rob most fresh food of its flavour - one of the reasons that people say 'modern tomatoes don't taste of anything' is because they take them straight out of the fridge.
