Nice one - I will have a read of that.

I presume there Is a Internet Policy in force as there is a company website set up for him, the regulatory stuff on the Email's was something mentioned to me, hence the thred start.

Personal usage of Internet. Think its down to trust, its only a small office, no DL any private things is allowed Music Ect, as for booking a holiday, I think that would be ok.

We have not been told that we cannot use the web for personal viewing, or maybe I shoud'nt be on here.

Thats the rub, you don't know so its unclear whether they could sack you for it. now add ina bit of dubious content and it changes again. where are teh lines, they need to be clear and well known.
