Wow, I got that email too!  Who knew you and I were valued FN drivers!  Though I'm confused why it's a restricted, first-come, first-served party if we're so valuable to the company?

You wrote recently that the NTA had their Xmas party in the Storehouse as well.  Somebody should start a conspiracy theory on FB/Whatsapp!

Not quite, Watty. I asked another contributor if they'd believe that NTA held it's Christmas party in the Guinness Storehouse if someone told them - on a completely hypothetical basis.... my suggestion being that it wouldn't be capable of organising such an event.

Jaysus if they'd invited the likes of you they could hardly call it "exclusive"... t1990 probably got a VIP pass!

Can't go myself 'cos there's darts on telly.

One way to ensure very few turn up to a small event is to ask us if we would like a 30% pay cut a few days before the invites to apply for an actual invite are sent out.

I got the email but I don't even like going into the office, nevermind drink with them.

I would agree Harry, the thoughts of being stuck next to Octy or MFH fer a few hours in an enclosed space and listening to them Whinging about the world would be my worst night-mare !

Belker you're the type of driver that would turn up wearing the Freenow jacket to the company party...

 Anytime I see a driver in the Freenow jacket I think there's a bloke who doesn't know he's self employed yet.

I'm not racist but I can't help having a bit of a chuckle when I see them wearing / driving Free Now banners.

I would agree, and anytime I see a Taxi driver in a Poxy EV, I have similar thoughts........

You don't seem to like EVs or Hybrids.
