No time in your busy day to shop?

Want to buy tickets for that crackin’ gig coming up, do your shopping or check out summer hols? Worried about the boss catching you on Amazon or eagle-eyeing you on eBay?

Well it’s time to ask for an e-break, and the guv’nor’s blessing to log on for those online essentials.

Here at Virgin Money we know you’ve gotta surf and shop online, so we’re campaigning for e-breaks – the up-to-date version of a tea break. The idea is that at 11am every day, you get to surf the net to your heart’s content - book that weekend away, download a top tune or bid for a bargain.

So ask your boss to get with the Virgin Money way of doin’ business and give you an ‘e’-break. Cut and paste the note below into an email. Or print it out and leave it on his / her desk.




Boss,

We, the undersigned, call on you to follow in the footsteps of Virgin Money and give us an ‘e’-break. 

Instead of a tea break, it’s 15 minutes at 11am each day to take a moment and go online. There’ll be no need for us to hike down to the high street for those essential items. We won’t surf the net at any other time (apart from work stuff, of course!)

It’ll give us the chance to sort out life’s everyday chores and then focus on the job in hand. We’ll be able to get on with our work knowing everything’s been sorted, thanks to a bit of time online.

So, please boss, give us an ‘e’-break!
