From BBC

It is all in the explaining, so we invited the BBC Magazine Monitor Appreciation group to come up with ingenious excuses on their Facebook discussion board. Here are 10 of the best (in no particular order):

1. Robin, Glasgow (formerly Edinburgh)
“… but Mr Cameron, you pay me to update your profile, so you can appear to be down with the kids!”

2. Rhys Wynne, Wales
“By browsing Facebook I’m not having a cigarette break, therefore saving thousands of pounds on the company’s medical insurance.

3. Rob Holehouse, Sheffield
“I’m researching the competition. Because aren’t all businesses, in their own little way, about reaching out to people?”

4. Aine, London
“This is Facebook?? But I searched for www.howtoincreasedepartmentproductivity.com!”

5. Sarah Harrison, Italy
Avon rep: “I thought it was my client list.”

6. Janey McDowell
“I am developing shared knowledge and understanding with our customers and potential customers by using a platform which our company/organisation is not fully exploiting…”

7. Ian Dickerson, London
“I’m fulfilling my networking personal objective.”

8. Sally Tanner, London
“IT asked me to – I’m testing the firewalls.”

9. Kathryn Close, Bristol
“I’m researching consumer opinions of our brands.”

10. Pix Mueller
“I’m vetting potential new recruits to the company.”
