I went to one a few years back. I quaffed as much champers as I could in the foyer, before we went in the big room for a meal. Me and the Mrs got rat arsed, snaffling down the bottles of red wine on the table. There was a gaffer on our table who kept going up the bar for us
. Then some top brass manager got on stage and started to thank us all for our hard work over the years, blah blah blah. I was mashed by now, so me and the Mrs sneaked off home. Not a bad night for free, but fook me, talk about boring conversations about Royal Mail. "Ooh, how long have you been a postman?" and "hasn't the job changed over the years." Jeez, give me a rope will ya.
and where were you, at the time of the incident sir.
