four-wheel-drive Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well done mate. Nice to be appreciated. I did 34 years teaching in Southend and got sweet fa. Long service award? What's that? Not exactly you did end up with a nice pension lots of us worked hard all of our life and end up with no pension even if you did have to pay towards it you still got a good deal.

four-wheel-drive Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Got presented with a Watch for 25 Years Service today I hope that they told you which market stall they got it from so that you can take it back when it stops going. only joking it looks good I did not think that they still did the gold watch thing in this day and age.

Sha Bu Le Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 22 years as a Quality Control manager (electronics) when I retired I received 1 weeks pay for every year I had worked there. Turned out to be a tidy sum, pity the tax man got his share. Also got a new mobile from my colleagues, all round winner and much appreciated.

four-wheel-drive Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Could it be that they thought the old ****** was always late getting to work so perhaps it would be appropriate to give him a watch so that he can be first in line at the post office to collect his pension. boom-boom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
