Is your office in downtown Baghdad?

Oxford street so yeah

I used to work for the civil service. In all CS buildings there's a big sign on the wall as you walk in that tells you what the current threat level is. This wasn't M16 or anything (not that I'd tell you if it was, of course ), I suspect every single government building has something similar. They take all this stuff pretty seriously.

Ironically and as far as I know, they don't do it in Ulster

I once got an email that had "terrorist thread level: Imminent" so that's nice :S

Terrorist threads - cool but dangerous

I do know staff in certain buildings over here get 'environmental allowances' i.e. danger money.

But are terrorists into threading?

my previous work contract had an exhaustive list of how much I would get if injured on the job, lost of one eye for example was 50k, both eyes 250k, a leg 150k etc. Grim!

Lol, sitting there wondering how much you need the money. Puts those 'Had an accident at work?' ads into perspective

Hehe working in Construction. I also had a life insurance, useful considering I once tripped on a safety wire on a 6th storey roof terrace without a ledge once, that would've hurt a lot more

So that was working out well then.

I should have been latched to it.
You make mistakes in your youth

Thankfully I have a good Death in Service payment as part of my Co Pension scheme so no need for seperate life Insurance
