Came in to work and it's freezing.
Boiler is dead.

Turned on the photocopier.

Logged in to my computer
Email is dead.

Turned on the pressure washer.

According to my desktop weather station, the office is a tropical 10 degrees C.

Anyone else suffering at work with no heating?

10 degrees! Bugger that, I'd be off home/sit in the car with the heater on!
Isn't there some sort of minimum temperature legislation for the workplace?

http://www.hse.gov.uk/contact/faqs/temperature.htm said:
The temperature in workrooms should normally be at least 16 degrees Celsius unless much of the work involves severe physical effort in which case the temperature should be at least 13 degrees Celsius. These temperatures may not, however, ensure reasonable comfort, depending on other factors such as air movement and relative humidity.’
Walk out!
