Default Prince William breaks record for the biggest trade at Charity Event..

http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/Pri...30497.html?x=0

...I'm pretty sure that Porkie was at this thing going by the photos he's stuck on FB, so might be able to give us an idea of whether this was Prince Williams own work or more of a publicity stunt.

Regardless of what actually happened, I think the most famous person that's ever come into a place where I've been working is a Scotland Rugby player, who only came in because he's my mate and was passing by. I think I'd have passed out seeing James Bond, Royalty, Dr Who, F1 drivers etc cutting around the office...


Cheers,
Grant

Aye, I'd not have passed out at the sight of them though mate... that sort of thing is a normal occurance in Dundee a.k.a: clunge central.

Was a crazy day! Amazing fun. I will do a big post with all the pics if people want?

I made the mail and the Guardian

I was one of the first people to meet Prince Charles and Prince William on their way into building. They were really nice and good fun on the floor.

Lee, the last 2 years running you've posted a pic of one particularly good looking lass

I think she was an elf maybe before or something like that. I spotted her last year and looked like a stalker remembering her from the year before

Any pics this year?

Yea your posts about this sort of stuff is a great read Lee, it gives us a wee bit of an insight into exactly what you guys and girls do for charity... which is nice to see rather than all the bonus stuff that the press usually concentrates on.


Cheers,
Grant

What charities is the 12.1 million going to out of interest Lee?

Great amount for one day, just shows the different circles that people move in, a girl in my office trained for months hiked up a mountain and back only only made a few grand, you guys just throw a party and have a laugh and raise 12 million
