FON is apparently the world’s largest Community of WiFi users, it is also the bearer of bad news for middle-aged women from Norwich. Within the results from a poll conducted by FON into non-work related activity in the workplace, was the startling statistic that it is ladies between the ages of 35 and 44 who live in Norwich that are most likely to be indulging in some retail therapy on company time. In fact Norwich can be revealed as being work-time shopping capital of Britain, with 40% of the city’s workers admitting to the act.

Some 20% of the workforce, if not shopping, are thinking about holidays and checking out likely destinations for when they can escape from the real world boundaries of the office, and 17% will be keeping an eye on the weather.

A surprisingly low 7% of men secretly looking at porn while at work, or rather admit to the act, with 4% searching for sex or love. Good luck chaps, only 2% of women are doing the same thing at the same time.

When it comes to age related time-wasting, 18% of the 25-34 year olds questioned admit to being hooked on social networks, and 16% of 16-24 year olds. What do they do there, on your time? 50% share gossip, 30% of which is about sex. 17% get bitchy about their mates, and 7% reveal embarrassing facts about work colleagues. If you live and work in either London or Manchester, pack it in as you are the biggest gossips of them all.
