    I once drove a 280-mile round trip just to have a Sheffield fishcake butty for lunch.

    That’s impressive levels of dedication!

      The craving had been building for some time and then work announced a ‘well-being’ day for everyone in the company. Obv., some people used theirs for a spa day, reconnecting with nature, or some intense physical exercise.

      Me, I drove to my favourite chippy in Sheffield and got a fishcake butty. No regrets, even though traffic was a bitch on the way home.

            Yeah, the firm he worked for wasn’t too bothered about tracking people’s hours and there was a cinema next door, so he could just wander in and pick a film that had recently started (which saves you 20-30 minutes).
