What's the best/worse Christmas gift you've been sent by a supplier / customer
Not sure what category this falls into, but when I got a message from a colleague saying there was a Christmas Tree in my inbox, I was a little intrigued. Turned out to be this:
Genuine Norwegian Spruce
I was trying to find a light that would fit on it, or maybe a short piece of tinsel

Hey, sue me, I was looking for a decent place to take the photo and I couldn't find one. I'd never noticed that tag until I took the photo!
Well spotted Harry, which probably means I threw out the Christmas edition with the papers when they collected the rubbish

My worst prezzie was about 7 years ago, I sold a house @ £375k which was equivalent of over 1 mil round here now. They came in at christmas just as property completed and gave me a bottle of wine............
..............they left price tag of 10 francs on.
tight sods.

Better get cracking, BB - that bottle will only be good for another couple of hours. BTW, did you have to do any "special favours" to get that? Like fix someone's PC, I mean...

did someone say "tandoori"? sounds good to me.
HP have just called btw - their expert opinion is that the machine's f*cked. I've tried kicking it a couple of times - doesn't seem to have helped.

Best was a Denon mini system from a customer, though that was as a wedding present last year.
Xmas I tend to get alcohol from customers/suppliers, which i'm happy with
