Hi Richard,

I don't recall seeing this story before but even if it is in the forum somewhere, it will not be easy to find!

An award richly deserved by Jill and Gerald, nice find, Richard!

i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif This is a very prestigious award ceremony in Canterbury. Last year my company ( Meadow Mushrooms ) won the Health and Safety Award and being a Rep I was invited to the Awards night. I had to dress up in my best suit ( bow tie etc). The Prime Minister who was Helen Clark was there then too. Unfortunately I had too many free glasses of champagne so after the meal I went home feeling a bit sick . Mind you I felt a lot better at work the next day than most of the others who stayed a lot later i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif.
