Nope, I missed those lessons, too. I solved the latter of the two challenges with a pseudo-random-number generator and a lookup table, at my last workplace. I might update that for the new place ...

Ooh. Lunch-o-matic. Yes. Hm. Now would that be best picking the five at once so you don't go to the same place twice in a week? I'd need to bolt on the monthly wildcard trip to Schwartz Bros and chuck in some pubs on a Friday...

Ah, mine was usually used only if I fancied a change from "budget mini-supermarket sandwich", which is usually what I go for to keep expenditure lower than it otherwise would be in E1. But those additions sound pretty reasonable. And if you're going to have some monthly wildcards, you could probably go to the sad extreme of a "one-click solution to your month's lunches" ... just program in the bank holidays and the days that you're on leave, and fire it up.
There was a variant for deciding which takeaway to get dinner from, too ... [grin]

Bath's unsurprisingly well blessed with lunchtime options - working person's pastie shop, posh pastie shop, Pietrose, middle class baguettes[1], sarcastic baguettes, the Raven, the Pig and something, Schwartz, the bagel shop, Pret, shop-next-to-pret...

... Hm. Bagel tomorrow, I think.

When I worked near Brick Lane (when I wasn't going for lunch with you, natch!) I alternated between tiffin shop curry and smoked salmon bagels from Beigel Bake. Om nom nom.

Aye, but you were actually on the Lane ... Nyom nyom nyom.
