Cool Fellow workers I salute you all....

It's people like us that keep this country going through the recession, unwavering in our determination to keep Britain "GREAT".

Those "I'm on holiday" tosspots are a complete drain on this country and are more than likely in Iceland buying their prawn platters as we speak.

Tradition is what our GREAT NATION is about, and I for one will be venturing to the nearest pub at 12 o'clock tomorrow for a festive pint following a years worth of hard work and effort.

The reason I'm working is so that I can have all next week off, plus February half term. (Annual leave runs from April to March).
