UPDATE

Seasonal Update

After a year of Updates dealing with the sometimes mundane subjects of HR, Employment Law, Health & Safety and Food Hygiene it’s time for our annual bit of tomfoolery.

How good a ‘cracker joke’ is can usually be measured by how many groans it provokes; so in an attempt to rev things up for Christmas, we hope you appreciate this little lot taken from The Daily Telegraph website which described them as the ‘worst 10 cracker jokes’.

What’s brown and sweet and glides around an ice rink?
Bourneville and Dean

I have to say that list from Nuts created more chuckles than groans in our office, though I am not sure we should admit this!

So, amid the groans we will sign off and wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a prosperous and peaceful 2014.
