Lunch break: 10 simple steps...
Step 1: Exit office via lift, step onto street outside.
Step 2: Break into instant-goosepimples, folding arms against chest and performing high-pitched 'brrrrrrrrr' noise for added acknowledgement of shitty weather. Step 3: Walk/run round corner towards nearest shop featuring pre-determined, desired edibles. Step 4: Glare at local 'suits', all with more money than me. Step 5: Peruse the numerous sandwich, salad, sushi, burger, chips, quiche, Chinese, Indian, Thai etc, options on offer. Make purchase. Step 6: Head to TopShop/Zara/Sainsburys/New Look/Accessorize etc. Step 7: Glare at local 'suits', all with more money than me. Step 8: Spend unjustifiable amount on Visa card just because it's easy. Step 9: Glare at local 'suits', all with more money than me. Step 10: Head back to office, eat gorgeous, pre-packaged, hunger-busting lunch.
Lunch hour in Dubai:
Step 1: Exit office via lift, step outside into office-building's car park. Dodge speeding vehicle covered in sand. Step 2: Break into instant sweat, flapping arms about to create human fan whilst feeling any unfortunate underarm fabric develop sudden wet-patch. Step 3: Walk round corner towards four-lane motorway, developing instant tan. Step 4: Glare at local 'sheiks', all with more money than me. Step 5: Stand at crossing for 25 minutes, wondering if a food shop exists amongst the furniture stores in what once was a barren sprawl of sand dunes across said motorway.
Step 6: Cross motorway. Discover no shops selling food anywhere, except random, run-down Baskin Robbins and 'closed' Indian restaurant. Step 7: Glare at local 'sheiks', all with more money than me. Step 8: Spend no money on anything, thanks having no bank account whatsoever and not really needing a deep scarlet, camel-printed chaise-lange.
Step 9: Glare at local 'sheiks', all with more money than me. Step 10: Head back to office, narrowly missing desert safari 4x4 collision in car park. Eat another of yesterday's cheese slices. And some Ding Dongs.
