    It’s the Office For National Statistics. Not Work From Home For National Statistics.

      office /ô′fĭs, ŏf′ĭs/

      noun 3. A subdivision of a governmental department. “the US Patent Office.”

      turns out an office isn’t a building… who’d have thought… wait… everyone… everyone knows that and it’s easily found information

      also language is malleable

      also who cares what the word is; forcing people to do dumb shit because of a name is the dumbest shit ever

        You guys never seen Anchorman? I guess not. Also how can you read my comment thinking it was serious? 😅

        Obviously this is a joke 😂😂. Oh dear.

          I’ve seen it a billion times and I’m not sure what the reference in your comment was?

            The reference is when Champ says: “It’s Anchorman not Anchorlady”.

            It’s like one of the classic lines. I can’t believe you don’t know it?

              Ah right. It’s not most memorable of them. Anyway, when people don’t get your joke it means it didn’t land. You need to chill a bit.

      British parliament should be in a house according to that logic.

      edit: a pub should be public property
