Office workers ignore cheap, hygienic lunches

Many city office workers have ignored a sandwich lunch delivery service, which offered them good quality food at low prices.

The service was forced to close on Friday after operating for eight months.

The service was operated by a former Sydney radio announcer Bern Davis, who put £1200 into the venture.

He says he is now almost “broke.”

Mr. Davis said yesterday, “I started the service as a challenge to the many shoddy sandwich shops operating in the city.

“These shops have for years exploited thousands of city workers, who rely on a sandwich lunch for their midday meal.”
