"A quarter of Londoners feel lonely at work and the average spends 13 hours a week without having a single conversation, new research shows. Only 12 per cent admit to phoning a partner once a day from their job - and more than half say they'd only call in an emergency. A typical person last called their other half on the phone 13 days ago, preferring texts instead."
"London's van drivers are among the most impacted professions suffering from loneliness and mental health issues. Also on the list are those working in charity, banking, legal, healthcare, tech, sales, government, tradesmen and women, social care and agriculture. The trend is being driven by people working from home, according to an Opinium survey for Mercedes-Benz Vans of 2,000 UK workers on Time To Talk Day."
