Re: 40 year service
If you like to play with gadgets then take the Ipod IF its the "touch" version. ??????
If not take the vouchers.
For my 20 years i took argos vouchers and bought a speed camera warning thingy for the car which has saved me on more than one occasion.
Well done on 40 years

well done on surviving 40 years
as there doesn't seem to be an option for hip/knee replacement surgery why not opt for the Barnados charity donation?

Congrats on reaching 40years
Whats the value of the vouchers? Think I would opt for those because then you can buy what YOU want.

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

Congratulations on reaching the 40 year milestone with hopefully your health and sanity intact.
Dunno what model Phillips hi-fi they are offering, but bought one recently for around 180 squid from Argos, and been well pleased with it.
( came with a free DVD of Schteeve McClaren trying to speak in a Dutch accent )
actually i made that last bit up ....
