    I hate most of the people where I work (not allowed to mention it though :p), though there are a few people I like, I still wouldn't do anything out of work with them.

    Like someone else said, their nights out tend to be at Baja/the Boat, and so I wouldn't WANT go out with them. Plus they tend to all be charvas/old charvas, and so tend to end up spending their mornings behind bars in a police station. I'm not joking either :rolleyes:

    The ppl I work with are really nice, as work mates, but I wouldnt class them as anything more. They are totally diff from me, so cant see us being great mates with not much in common. I got asked if I used drugs yesterday off one of the girls.:spangled: :p My jaw dropped to the floor! :p :lol:

    I used to work in a call centre with Missy, which was great. We had a rite laugh, likewise when I worked in a bar. :D Just depends on the type of work u do I think. :)

    I met ManofScience and Vandenburg through work. They've moved on to other jobs but we've remained best of mates for years. If we weren't into the "scene" it would probs have been a bit more difficult to stay as close.

    I get this too!! I only started going to Promise in January, and whenever people ask me at work where I had been the night before I explain to them I've been to Promise at Foundation.

    All I get is..

    "Shindig?"

    "No...Promise"

    "But I thought it was Shindig at Foundation"

    :doh:

    Then they say that Foundation is full of charvas and that's why they would never go. OK I used to think that :oops: but I really shouldn't have judged before I went :rolleyes:

    I would be shocked if anyone at Morrisons liked you at all & when I say Morrisons I don't mean your branch, I mean the entire company.

    The ppl I work with are moslty older then me I would say average around 35ish.....I work with a friend when Im in the office. Ive known her since I was 4 I got her the job interview so Its good to sit in the office with her.

    Apart from that I dont really socialise with them....unless there is a staff night out I often go but depends where it is.

    I used to work in 2 pubs and I meet a really good friend there that I see every other day....and I stil lspeak with the ppl I meet in the pub.

    Gues sit depends on the job/atmosphere of the work place. Much easier IMO to make friends at a bar then in an office.

    i work with a varied age group, all the people i work with are great to be around especially at work, we all get on great in work - but that is were it stops, we can all manage to have a laugh without bringing personal home stuff into work!
    as cookee previously said before im totally different to people at work so goin out with them with have to be a big no no!
    i would never own up to wot i did outta work, even me work colleagues told all, its in my eyes better to b safe than sorry! coz how much can u really trust them?
    but otherwise yeah i would say i got on with them in work hours!
