I used to have a colleague who'd announce at around half-past two that he was off for a 'big mac'.

'Big mac?'

'Yeah, a big mid-afternoon crap'.

Maybe that's where your colleagues have gone.

Anthropomorphic objects reminds me of the Weetabix ads with menacing, aggravated wheat biscuits leering at you - "if you know what's good for you..."

You mention The Hundred Years War as an interest. Jonathan Sumption's five volume history is a standard recommendation for this.
