AL DESKO

Do you have crumbs all over your computer keyboard as you read the news, do a bit of shopping, check the train times or book a holiday on the internet? Whatever happened to the time our lunch break was a welcome excuse to leave the office and picnic in the fresh air? In the 21^st century there are so many more reasons to eat AL DESKO (while sitting at your desk) rather than “alfresco”.  

“A quarter of British workers” are believed to have their lunch “AL DESKO”, often eating a pre-packed chain store sandwich in front of their computers”.
