20 MINS is the minimum you are intitled to. You are within your rights to take your full 40mins. Get on to the H.S.E. website or contact you local enviromental health office. They will give you the official reg regarding this.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
