Workers at the UK 's historic Evening Standard 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 one of all disciplinary cases were alcohol related, applies to the market's about half 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?” The ban is included in the Employee Guide, which has been reviewed by HR. one worker complained to the Evening Standard newspaper.
