Worker slept in cupboard for 8 months avoiding security

A hard-up British Airways worker slept in a works' store cupboard for nearly eight months.

Stephen McNally, 30, bunked down among computers and photocopiers to avoid security.

He got his supper from office vending machines and, before going to bed, would watch telly in the staff room, reports the Daily Mirror.

But the Ј18,000-a-year manager was rumbled when colleagues noticed he smelt and security found food in the cupboard at the airline's call centre in Scotswood, Newcastle.

A source said: "He'd never leave blankets or anything and there was no trace of his stay...it is amazing he got away with it for so long."
