    People just don't work efficiently without breaks and time to rest and refocus. The badge of honour working without breaks and/or only needing a few hours sleep a night is outdated and a recipe for unproductive and uncreative work.

    What job do you do?

    You know that Boffin doesn't actually work, right?

    He's either on a train, riding into a headwind (through the snow and fog), on holiday, eating or buying coffee.

    Holidays seem to be the single, largest part of the above.

    Ah I was referring to Kleinstroker, I didn't presume that Boff did anything, every time I've met him he's been on some sort of strong painkiller so I presume he exists in a drug addled fantasy world in head to toe Castelli and Rapha with a beer nearby. I've seen him near a bike before but never actually riding one.

    Basils in the alley next to the Windsor pub off Fenchurch Street square is a top notch sandwich place. Also for all the carbs Scarpetta near Cannon Street is great.

    Tsuru on Queen Street does great Katsu curry and sushi
    Round the corner there is Wok Bok next to Sweetings that does a decent chinese and a few noodle dishes that they shall heat for a takeaway.
    Is there still the van in Bow Lane next to Planet of the Grapes doing pulled pork wraps etc? They were like pipe bombs!
    Fuzzies on Masons Avenue did a great sausage / bacon / egg sarnie for a Friday but by far the best deli I have found in BLT on curtain road - I hear its close now though - anyone know?

    Unfortunately my commute has now been shortened to under a mile (4 minutes) and as much as that's beneficial I miss that ride across RP and down the embankment massively.

    Fuzzies closed I think.
    The van selling wraps is called Burrito Joe's and certainly still exists!

    I also recommend Continental Sandwich Bar next to Reflex, also just off Bow Lane.
