im afraid so. They may as well not bother anymore as it's more of an insult than a reward. 30 years you only get a 100 quid voucher, but by the time you get to your 30th you probably will end up with just the tie to go with it!

Best reward for 20 yrs service is not having to pay out to get 6 weeks holiday. By time I get to 20 they'll probably have everyone on 4 weeks and think themselves generous for 'giving' us that lol
