Newcastle's "naked civil servants"

I'm normally accused of concentrating on stories that make the Government look bad. The mess they've made on immigration, the NHS, the education system and so on. But for this thread, I'll put that aside...

In a report that could have been lifted directly from The Sun newspaper, but is actually from the BBC, they tell us: "Civil servants on Tyneside are under investigation amid allegations staff romped around naked in offices and had sex in toilets. One person at the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) in Newcastle has been sacked after officials began an investigation. The antics emerged after some members of staff were caught on CCTV cameras... The agency said it was investigating claims that staff leapt naked from filing cabinets, had sex in office toilets, held break-dancing competitions during working hours and fought in a reception area." >> Details >>

You might find some moral outrage in the tabloids tomorrow about this, but there isn't any from me. I'm just jealous. Why can't more workplaces be like this? This sounds like fun. Obviously, civil servants now think "if John Prescott can do it, why can't I?".

Meantime, where did I put my application form? :p
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    There should be an entire education program which leads to these types of job. Unfortunately, the admission points at those schools would rise rapidly, because a hell of a lot of male students would apply - this would ultimately lead to more stress amongst the male students.

    Need I explain? :p

    I always wondered why there were so many public service jobs in North England. Was it part of a government attempt to buy Labour votes by scaring them with the nonsensical idea the Tories would sack the lot of them? Seems not. :p I shudder to think what will happen when John Prescott next visits...

    No in reality its because a) the North has lots more unemployment and b) because its cheaper

    My old boss at Budget insurance used to play cricket in the call centre whilst on the phone.

    This story just made me laugh, show that these things can go on in any office. Also shows that Civil servents have a sense of fun as well!
