Aeronut: I was attempting humour with the spelling rather than subtlety - in your case I appear to have achieved both - RESULT!...........
So apparently, if no one objects, we can bring our animals into work - particularly if we've an office to use as a kennel (not sure how visitors to that office who've not been briefed on the "extra" presence are expected to react though). I've got a pet ferret - I wonder if that's OK?
Also, why doesn't this apply to children then?
