Last night I was watching One Man, Two Guvnors from the National Theatre though, so rather than cripple my bandwidth I've got two day's worth to copy across tonight.

Yorkshire Pie Apr 2020 4:14pm, 3 Apr 2020 13,631 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I can only access the network out of office hours (not enough capacity for everyone to work from home at once) so I need to log on over the weekend to get things up to date. Two out of three of the systems I use are cloud based so I can access them, but I can't record time or save emails to the document management system during the week. Would it be bad if I opened the wine before work drinks kick off?
