The rats scurry en masse out of here everyday and Pistonheads always slows down for a couple of hours before the evening massive hunker down.

It's like the changing of the guard or the shift change as everyone logs out, smug in their completed days work and joins the hometime crew sat white to red, bumper to bumper crawling in eager anticipation of a glass of red and some cheesy bread sticks whilst preparing their 'must check the Blackberry for work email' wife excuse for a cheeky PH fix before dinner.

Oh to Dolly Parton and get my funk out on the allotted hour.

Surely by spending less time on PH, and more time doing work, you too could leave at the "magical" hour?

If I'm home later than 1500, it's been a bad day.

Still here.

Start at 8am too, the days feel very long, specially with no lunch break but PH browsing keeps me going biggrin

Its annoying that everyone pisses off at 5:30 though!

fk! I remember those days. Soon after leaving university, I used to get nothing done in the mornings and have rather productive afternoons. Now it's the other way round - afternoons suck.

Normal hours for the expats in the office is 6.30am to 6.30pm, maybe stay later for a couple of hours. The annoying thing is that the locals do 8.30 to 3.30, but they claom to be more efficient.

4pm is our abandon ship time, and I'm usually not far behind! If I end up staying until about 4:30, I'll just stay till 5:30 or 6 to avoid the traffic.
