Brits guilty of 'wilfing' their working days away.Two days every month wasted by aimless web searching :Clement James, vnunet.com 11 Apr 2007

Millions of Brits are surfing the web aimlessly, losing an average of two full working days per month.
The research, carried out by YouGov over 2,412 adults, found that more than two thirds of the UK's 33.7 million internet users are guilty of "wilfing" (What Was I Looking For?).
The survey revealed that almost a quarter of the country's internet users spend 30 per cent or more of their internet time wilfing, both at work and at home.
Although men are much more likely to be tempted to wilf than women, shopping websites were found to be the biggest cause of wilfing, the survey found.
Worryingly, a third of male respondents admitted that wilfing has had negatively affected their relationship with their partner, with almost one in five men being distracted by porn websites.  noooo:

Acronyms seldom actually work out. What I find most surprising, given the time some "workers" spend on here and other boards, is that any work gets done at all.
