Happy Christmas!

All employees planning to dash through the snow in a one horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way are advised that a Risk Assessment will be required addressing the safety of an open sleigh for members of the public.

This assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers. Please note that permission must also be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered.

To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.

Benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available for collection by any shepherds planning or required to watch their flocks at night.
While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all users of this facility are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks.

The angel of the Lord is additionally reminded that, prior to shining his/her glory all around, s/he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.

Following last year's well-publicised case, everyone is advised that Equal Opportunities legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr R Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence.

While it is acknowledged that gift bearing is a common practice in various parts of the world, particularly the Orient, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages. It is particularly noted that direct gifts of currency or gold are specifically precluded, while caution is advised regarding other common gifts such as aromatic resins that may evoke allergic reactions.

Finally, in the recent instance of the infant found tucked up in a manger without any crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly.


Bah Humbug !!

Very good, sums up life today very well.

Have you still got that lovely buggy of yours?

Hi Mate,
Still got it - don't intend ever selling it after so much blood & tears.
Currently wrapped up nice & snug in duvets in the garage. Keep waiting for a nice dry sunny weekend to get a run out.

It is a cracking looking car, very unusual and as I recall from Allington Farm, very mint! I have some pics of it that day I took in my phone I think.

Do you really actually wrap it up in duvets? I posted about trying to keep cars in good shape over the winter in cold or damp garages etc but never considered that option!

I currently have just a light breathable cover over the ASBO but it does worry me that it's gonna be ok being as it's not getting much use atm.

You could have joined me and Dixie for that run-out to Cheddar we did last Sunday.....we didn't get wet and the sun
shone briefly.      (we didn't get wet 'cause we were in the pub!!.....pi**ing down outside though!)

Merry Christmas to you too Frome Flyer!

[fromeflyer]

Yes it is covered in old duvets plus a nice fleece lined cover. Lucky as the garage stays warm. When we get a nice Sunday that coincides with the Queens square meet I'll take it out the bat cave but a bit nervous after the post a couple of months ago when cars got damaged. Cheers

I would think your buggy would be great fun in the snow mate.
