Yesterday, at coffee, one of the people at work started an anecdote with "I was reading in the Daily Mail..." (something she does often). At this point, the head of research (pretty much 2nd in command) said "right, this is the time I leave". Admittedly he does leave rather abruptly pretty much every day at coffee, but this was clearly making the point that he didn't want to hear.

This is in fact the prevalent attitude, as I think the entire readership of the DM at work (comprised of mathematicians, statisticians, ecologists, biologists, programmers, and PhD students) is 1.
