After 27 years of getting up at the crack of dawn, taking out a mortgage, starting a family, you're making me apply to stay in my own home.
I guess smashing up restaurants doesn't give you kicks anymore. Now you have to smash up proples lives, eh?
When people get up at the crack of dawn to prepare their family business, when people take out a mortgage to fund a new venture or risk everything on a new product or try to find a new market - we don’t sneer at them. We cheer for them and ask how we can help.

Don't park on the footpath or you'll push vulnerable pedestrians into traffic.

My experience is in the City; if you conduct business from a personal device, on non-logged platforms, you will get sacked, prosecuted, and barred from your profession.
Surely performing government business on a non-approved device is in itself misconduct in public office?
