'Depraved' civil servants play naked office pranks
Matt Weaver
Monday June 12, 2006


Civil servants who were supposed to be administering the government's much-criticised farm subsidies system have been taking part in 'depraved' office pranks such as leaping naked from filing cabinets.

he beleaguered Rural Payment Agency has begun an investigation into the behaviour of its staff at its Newcastle office, which allegedly included leaving cups of vomit in cupboards, taking drugs, having sex in toilets and holding breakdancing competitions during office hours.

<snip>

Some of the pranks were caught on CCTV in the office where more than 900 people are employed.

<snip>

"These other activities are clearly a complete distraction from focusing on the real job, which is putting things right for British farmers."

The author is a real punster...gotta hand it to the Brits, they should have the makings of an amazingly tasteless reality TV show once they edit the CCTV tapes.

4. That does sound gross. I only want to two things to a toilet and don't
want to be in one when I do either of them.

5. This is the UK
toilet refers to a bathroom -- not just the throne.

7. LOL. The Brits use 'Toilet' to denote the room as well...
...as the piece of plumbing.

So these enterprising civil servants were merely having sex in the bathroom, like normal people.

The rest of it is SOP. :evilgrin:

9. Must be one of those jobs where you have to know someone working there
to get in. Because the benefit package wpuld attract a lot of applicants.
