Free Christmas Lunch.

Post by Flashman »

Christmas dinner this year was rather lacking in comparison to other years. Instead of the usual three courses, we were restricted to only the main course and were allowed only two veg'.
Apparently, next year will be worse, I had a little tip off that we will not be getting our free Christmas lunch anymore, bah hum bug!

So how was yours?

We nearly got ours stopped, but there was a last minute reprieve and it was reinstated. I must say it was jolly tasty lol!

No free xmas lunch at my MC
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

RE : Xmas Lunch

Technically, I don't think it is free. I believe it's funded for via the First Line Fix money we are allocated each year. I could be wrong though, but I one thing is certain, it doesn't come out the MC managers pocket.
