On Thursday our Sector Manager arrived at training at 20:00 with a big box. Fair play as Allan had been on a course all day in Southampton, so a long day for him. Still he said we'd all been good boys this year and that he had early Christmas presents.
Our new kit. Wooo Hooo!
Regular readers will know about the yearly bunfight when we choose kit. Basically we get 50 points to spend and we all argue over who's getting what. Some items like a jacket cost 75 points. Last year we chipped in and got Brian a jacket; and we've been banging on about it ever since...we're not bitter....he's got a jacket so he's happy....in his new jacket that we bought him...with our points. We order in August and sometimes it arrives later the same year.

So the box was opened and there was a scramble; I say scramble, more an organised fight. Everyone got something. Allan suddenly brought out the new protective eyewear for Nick, some Bolle safety sunglasses. Nice! Austen nearly burst into tears so Allan gave him a pair also. Suddenly all the team were claiming that their safety glasses had gone missing. Allan may be a new sector manager but he's not daft and saw right through that one!
He then brought out a new cliff helmet. Mmmm they may be safety wear but compared to the current ones you look like a plonker in them. Suddenly everyone was saying that their current safety helmet wasn't missing. To be fair they are good helmets.

So we tried on the kit to make sure it fitted and ate all the best biscuits including a handful of Cadbury Chocolate fingers each (Well Brian, Rid and Gareth did - when quizzed we told the rest of the team that they had already been eaten, which technically was true - we had just eaten them).
The happy shopper digestives were left for Ian's return from Central Park.
