Moneo writes: Don’t bug me - why ECPs with runny noses really ought to stay off work

Recently I have had a series of heavy colds, so heavy in fact that I have had to take time off work – I can’t remember the last time that happened. Mrs Moneo, who is a complete stalwart when it comes to health matters, has also been laid low by a nasty bug. At one stage she could hardly speak, had a racking cough and conjunctivitis all at the same time.

Obviously, being male, I suffered far more than she did. In an attempt to regain our normal good health we thought it would be a good idea to get away for a few days and relax completely, but no sooner had we arrived at our hotel than Mrs Moneo went down with another heavy cold.
