Funny Old Day ...................?

It's been a funny old day . We were "on stock" which means we've been stocktaking. This is a delightful 6-monthly ritual which involves all the *suits* in "Britain`s most admired company" running around like lemmings, generally panicking and getting very excited about things they barely understand! I kept well out of the way, although I did shake my head on numerous occasions and say "it's a worry?" at every available opportunity - but, then again - you've got to have some *sport* at work ........?

Tonight i'm going to Church for a Service for a young lad from work who died last week - he had problems with his kidneys and unfortunately he lost the fight.

He was 28.

He was a nice polite lad from Africa who was studying at the local College. He didn't drink or smoke but did like his footie. Before his last bout of illness he had worked for McDonalds and the lads have arranged a football match to raise some cash towards repatriating his body. We're also running a raffle and obviously accepting donations. Our social club has donated £800 - which I think is fantastic - well done.

I hope there's a good turn out for a young lad in a strange country and a long way from home.
