I used to bring lunch in from home,but I stopped because there wasa lady that I worked with. She was a very nice, friendly Irish lady unfortunatelyevery lunch time she'd come over to my desk saying,

'mmmmm.. what do you have today - I can smell it from across the office'

and then she proceed to point at the contentson my plate asking things like,

'what's that orange thing? is it a Carribbean delicacy, you like alot of gravy don't you?'

she'd be standingover my desk throughout the whole time, whileI tried to eat. I'm thinking 'P off will you!' Icould never be accused of encouraging herbecause I never responded except to say yes or no,but she nevergot the message.Maybe she was waiting for me to offer her some! Whatever her reason, she has certainly put me off bringing lunch in form home!
