Workers at the UK's historic Lloyd's of London insurance market have reacted angrily to a new directive banning them from drinking alcohol during their lunch breaks. The ban, issued in response to claims that about half of all disciplinary cases were alcohol related, applies to the market's 800 staff. “Lloyd’s used to be a fun place to work. Now it is the PC capital of the world where you can’t even go out for a lunchtime pint anymore?” said one worker.
