How long is your lunchbreak at work and do you get paid for it?

[FenellaBestwick]

I'm a recent returner to work and I'm shocked but not surprised at the erosion of work conditions. I get half an hour for lunch, unpaid. It means there's little time to re-charge your batteries. Just get to the staffroom, wolf your food and get back on the shop-floor (care sector). When I last worked (pre dc), I had a full hour paid and 15mins break morning and afternoon. What are your lunch breaks like?

I've never been paid for my lunch hour in any job I've had since graduating in 1995!
In my current job it's a 37.5 hour week and the hours are rigid - 8.30 to 5.00 with a lunch hour at 1.00 till 2.00. No other 'official' breaks although obviously we can go and make a drink / go to the loo etc.
The previous places I worked were more flexible in that you could take a shorter or longer lunch if needed and either leave earlier or later.
But it's never been part of my paid hours, ever!
