STOP PRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Workers failing to eat a proper breakfast are costing the UK economy a staggering £22bn every year, according to 'research'.
In the latest piece of garbage from the Institute of Pointless Research, the mammoth figure was reached by looking the morning eating into the habits of more than 1,500 British workers. Apparently, the equivalent of 923 million man hours is lost every year as a result of the UK workforce failing to eat a proper brekkie.
Guru is not one of these malnourished individuals. Every morning Mrs Guru cooks Yours Truly a Full English breakfast, two slices of toast and a nice cuppa (white, two sugars).
While digesting his meaty sausage (not an euphimism), Guru wondered how the £22bn figure was arrived at. Surely by not stopping to eat breakfast, employees are arriving at and starting work earlier?
The survey identifies a 'brain freeze' suffered by those who fail to eat breakfast in the morning, much the same as Guru suffered when trying to decipher the complicated equation undertaken to reach the multi-billion pound figure.
The survey was conducted by Holiday Inn Express, which provides free breakfasts to guests. Guru is now off to book an overnight stay at the one nearest to his house.
