I also picked up some J-cloth / scouring pad experience too.

Same here. Was it near Prittlewell station?

Roast - interesting name for a venue in Brighton  

It certainly would be if only this place wasn't in Borough High Street.

our x-ray do is at the westcliff hotel.. its always a good craic.. dominate the free wine and food and then hit a club. Because my dept is mainly students we all get on really well and a lot of us dont really work there much anymore (usually holiday time) so its a good little reunion as well

Ditto.

It's down to us to sort a night out. Looks like it's going to be Bonds in Basildon. Last year was a blast so hopeing for a repeat this year.

I used to work for Mobil Oil. The Christmas meal they offered one year was ham, egg and chips at the social club at lunch time at our own expense. They offered to pay for one drink. We didn't bother.

We do get a tin of Qaulity Street though. We used to get a couple of bottles of cheap plonk as well but that was stopped due to protests from non drinking, non christian factions in our workforce.

Rather than keep their gobs shut and just give it to someone else they cocked it up for everyone.

When I was the postie up here, we used to get a hamper, and a very decent one it was as well. Then one year some management type decided that it was unfair to keep giving us hampers because it would upset posties in other areas who didn't get them. Note "would" not "had", no one had complained. Hamish who was the postie in the next village, had a poster on his wall with the classic:

<span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>To Make the Rich Work Harder You Pay Them More.
To Make the Poor Work Harder You Pay Them Less</span></span>

The next time I went in underneath that he had written in large bitter letters:

AND NICK THEIR CHRISTMAS HAMPER&#33;
