I know some people get nothing at all, but if you did how bad was it.

This is what we got for our Christmas lunch.

full 3 courses + coffee, though i did have to pay for it as with 6000 people on site you tend to do your own thing with the department.

boss picked up the beer tab though which was fairly substantial given we all came in by bus smile

I was sitting next to both Simpo Two and adycav at their joint Christmas lunch.

I feasted just as well as they did.

The workers at our place always got free 2 course xmas dinner- nice big turkey dinner, pudding, with tables laid, cracker etc.

This year they sold xmas dinner vouchers for £2, the £2 going to charity... boycott hehe

Instead of 180 people we done 90, not bad considering the boycott.

I was wondering the same thing, although your asterisks didn't quite work out there Mr Tapeworm, there are certainly the right number of them for it to be the case.

OK, nothing for the adults, but the kids' Father Christmas pressies were pretty nice. smile
