run a mile, outside of work nothing to do with you.
on a lighter note our manager came inot the office today and said he had
been looking out of the window and noticed a patch of what looks like
recently turned over ground outside our perimeter fence, looking
suspiciously body sized......I rapidly advised if already dead and buried
and outside of work then definitely not within the OH remit.....

Totally agree with Anne, stay well clear ... Don't blur the lines re the OH
