Everyone gets £100 extra in their wage packet at xmas so not too bad.

And had a xmas do last friday afternoon, had a half day in work then went and got bevvied at the pub, massive buffet and loads of free drinks.

So not bad at all.

yea, got few k but they've predicted that that won't happen next year if the price of crude stays so low. Christmas do was a hotel in cheshire and private firework display but the bar was only free until 1am, after that the most senior person on the table had to pay and claim back on expenses. Still didn't stop me having copious amounts of Belvedere
