People in England don’t do breakfast meetings. We’re much more likely to do the lunch time pint meeting or the afternoon tea and cake meeting, it’s just the way it’s always been. It may be starting to change though. We have a clubhouse at Hursley that has started serving breakfasts and I’ve now had a couple of team breakfasts down there. It’s been much more social than work related, but still, it makes us feel all important having a power breakfast before walking back to the lab to fix Java bugs and hack together PHP scripts.

I can see it turning into a regular nerd-break-fest with the rest of the people at eight bar.
