OFFICE workers claim the summertime exodus of bosses, colleagues and clients means "annoying interruptions" are reduced by a third.

Recruitment consultancy Office Angels quizzed 1,500 employees and employers and found that 72 per cent of office workers look forward to the summer months when interfering colleagues and demanding bosses are away and they are left holding the fort.

They view this time left alone in the office as a chance to crack through work and clear their In tray.
