you can't do any of that from home.
it's not about me working from home it's about council workers not being in the office that i object to, and as an old manager once told me at VM "you don't come to work to be happy"

Sounds Scottish.
That said, arguing that people who could effectively work from home shouldn’t be allowed to do so just because you couldn’t, is a bit churlish.
I could work from the office at my church but it would cost my employer money as the space would need heated and lit just for me to be there. It’s the same issue on a grander scale for large employers. There are costs associated with having people in an office. If they’re happier and at least as productive working from home, and the employer is saving money on facilities maintenance, everybody wins.
