as 10cc say, not in hove
can anyone beat this display of tightness?

our MD (a man of substantial wealth) received a half-case of wine from a client and asked the chap organising our christmas party to use these at the party.

nothing wrong so far i hear you say.


BUT then he asked if we could send back six bottles that we had already ordered and get a refund:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

beat that!

Just heard this from our receptionist.... in confidence of course!

Our MD recieved a case of wine last week from our main subcontractor that was meant to be shared out around between the people who have worked with them over the year. Turns out he has taken the whole lot home for himself :angry: Appartantly he did the same last year as well!
