We have 14 attending tonight ... no idea how we have accumulated so many but it’s a small enough thank you for all their help over the year without which we wouldn’t function
When (40 yrs ago) I was an employee, the work force all went down the village Local for a slap up Chicken and Chips in a basket (posh huh?) and a few beers on the Boss. Did the buisness...
One man band so it'll be just me and the missus. She puts up with random outbursts & brainwaves and deep explanations and waffle of work stuff through the year.
Back when I was employed we'd all have a dinner and drinks paid for and a wedge for the copper we'd saved through the year off the scrap appliances we'd hauled.
We have a self employed Christmas do for all of us that are SE and have maybe 1 or 2 staff. Around 25 in the party, starts at 11am and finished when you run out of money!!
Many years ago all us one man bands in the area decided we wanted a self employed staff party. We called it the jolly boys night and 25 years later its still going?
We had a dinner last month when our egg packing lady left in lieu of a Christmas party.
Our full time employee is an ex Rhodesian air force and BMI engineer, so I told him we'd go to Duxford, without wives, so he could look at all the planes and chat to old boys that look after the planes, with dinner after, which he thought was a better idea than any party.
Our works do is after Christmas! 10 of us going, all self employed lads that help us through the year, didn’t have one last year with moving house and yard with 10 new born pups we didn’t even think of it.
Me and the boss (mother) have our meal everyday at dinner time,or lunch time if you’re posh.builder mate not having evening event and pee up this year but taking everyone to wymondham garden centre for a big breakfast which sounds great.at least staff won’t be taking advantage drinking beer at others expense all night and getting drunk making tits of themselves.

Got my one days shooting for the season and a meal out and probably a few nice glasses of something the week before Xmas, then a few of us are having a day in Edinburgh in January some time, I get invited out on "black eye" Friday to the local town but give that a miss ! Too many two pint Rambo's out that say !
