A survey of UK office workers says they will drink more than 34,000 hot drinks during their career

The average office worker will have more than 34,000 hot drinks, read more than a million emails and visit the toilet 33,000 times during their career, according to research.

A survey of 550 office workers across the UK also found they will spend three months waiting by a printer and 10 months hanging on the phone over the course of their working life.

Office firm LondonOffices.com said its study revealed that many office workers have a set routine, including drinking around three cups of tea or coffee a day, spending three-quarters of an hour gossiping with colleagues and eating lunch at the same time.
