It may have been the standard once, but these days the standard seems to be 8 hours of work, plus 30 or 60 minutes for lunch.

I don't know anyone that works 9-5 with an hour for lunch.




That'll be me! I am in the Midlands.

....although I must admit this is rare. The last place was 9-5 with half an hour for lunch, which was widely abused by others (eg. 2 hour pub lunch every Friday, clear off early, roll in late).

A previous place wanted 40 hours a week when I inquired about returning. A reevaluation of priorities led me to turn that offer down.
