I was once effectively paid to sit in a car for three hours,
but it was going from Sheffield to York for a project meeting
and the three of us in the car discussed the project on the
way there and back. Our timesheet stated we "started work"
when we got to the Sheffield office to meet up with the
driver, and "finished work" when he dropped us back off.
