Yummy bits: unfortunately our offices are attached to the foyer in our
building. There is often conferences or talks which inevitably leads to a mob of loud people congregating in the foyer having coffee and nibbles. This results in an unbearable noise for us. We have complained numerous times but nothing seems to be happening. Lately the solution has been to bring us all the left over goodies (cakes, biscuits, chocolates etc) as a bride. It's works for me :-)
