AIBU to ask what is general work etiquette with surfing internet while at work? In Britain

[hiddenselkie]

I'm currently living in European country and generally, it's understood, if you work at computer, you should browse internet (for pleasure) at the end of working day, after you're finished with work.
AIBU to ask how it is at your work? Just for curiosity.

It's just less than hour while everyone is getting ready leaving. It's difficult to explain this situation, but it's combination of government making almost impossible to fire people, so job security is really high. It comes with downsides.

Quick Google of a topic that's been brought up in idle conversation which takes a few seconds to end a debate fine, quick click on the news or travel report fine ... YouTube and Mumsnet etc absolutely not.

I work for myself so I could browse all day if I wished. But then I wouldn’t get my work done and I wouldn’t get paid.

@hiddenselkie - I would say for a lot places , if it is a work provided laptop / computer , use it for nothing else apart from work. (But your contract will tell you that. ) If you are sitting in the office in your own time - not work time using your personal phone to browse the internet - fill your boots

What Govt is it?
