Liquid laxative would quickly let you know who was the culprit.

I'm breaking site rules here but I got us our own office fridge.

See how long it lasts before the Director tells us to take it out due to a fire risk or something, like our kettle.

Can't you just have it pat tested so it's accepted

If they kick it out of the office then retrofit a fridge to your D3, keep your milk in your rear armrest

It is pat tested.

Finance director doesn't like us having fridges, toasters, microwaves, kettles and other such things in offices, says its a fire risk.

There must be (by law) a fire risk assessment in which the hazard presented by such appliances is addressed by the controls put in place i.e. PAT, fire detection and fighting. Ensure that all devices are included including your fridge. Ask to see it. Amend it if necessary. The finance director is unlikely to understand fire risk so tell him to get back to his spreadsheets.

Well perhaps the answer is a fridge for the '8? you just have to go to the car park for your milk.
