As the London 2012 Olympic Games get under way employees are starting to take advantage of the option of working from home to avoid the crush on public transport systems.

Staff at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) are set to join the thousands of other workers who are going to work from home during the London Olympics.

Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has issued a gentle reminder that working from home is not an excuse to be lazy.
