In pictures: Your lunchbreaks

Cocktails

"A recent Lunch & Learn session where we had lessons on making summer cocktails," says Claire Sosna, of communications agency Logistik. The monthly sessions encourage regular lunch breaks.

Sushi at desk

Sushi for lunch and nuts to nibble for Thomas Cogley. "My engineering firm moved to a 40-hour week, to make our time 'more productive'. This makes anything more than half an hour for lunch very difficult. It's also harder to hold off the snacks."

Human statues

"Seems like this pair of human statues got hungry," says Hazel B Cameron, of North Yorkshire, who took this photo on Edinburgh's Royal Mile during the festival.

Umbrellas on train platform

"Coming back from Yen restaurant in the rain one lunchtime," says Deirdre Campbell of Glasgow.

Frederick Cheung

Frederick Cheung and Thomas Roberts, of Textperts, tuck in with considerable relish. "We're being very unhealthy by each eating four double cheeseburgers stacked on top of each other."

Candace

Candace, of New Jersey, packs this at 4am before a pre-work spinning class. "After-workout snack is boiled egg, trail mix bar and banana. Lunch at desk is cucumber salad and two pork cutlets."

Pool

"Not only do I live and work in central London, I get to go to our pool across the road at lunchtime and swim for 45 minutes - a fantastic stress-buster," says Julia Dawson.

Oban
