Default Worker slept in cupboard for 8 months

A hard-up British Airways worker slept in a works' store cupboard for nearly eight months.

Stephen McNally, 30, bunked down among computers and photocopiers to avoid security.

He got his supper from office vending machines and, before going to bed, would watch telly in the staff room, reports the Daily Mirror.
But the £18,000-a-year manager was rumbled when colleagues noticed he smelt and security found food in the cupboard at the airline's call centre in Scotswood, Newcastle.

A source said: "He'd never leave blankets or anything and there was no trace of his stay...it is amazing he got away with it for so long."

Wow thats quite incredible. I have to wonder though, how did he keep himself and his clothes clean? If he didnt keep himself clean how did his colleagues stand the smell for so long

Well when I got divorced from my ex a few years ago, I was considering doing the same thing....lol... (tho not too seriously)
We've got a Canteen that serves decent cooked meals at a subsidised price, Sattelite TV and Squash Courts with SHOWERS in them, the only thing I didn't have was a bed... imagine the amount of money you'd save ion Rent and Petrol...

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.

I imagine his boss must have been impressed (initially) by him being at work before anyone else and still being around at closing time.
