This year was the first exsquiddy Christmas party attended by no
current squiddies. Consequently it was the first at which we didn’t
bitch about the company, even though there was plenty
of gossip.
Aperitifs at The Pickerel, where a strange man kept hovering and
mumbling drunkenly at us.
The main event was at La Margherita. Italian food and Christmas
crackers, an interesting combination. Joining the usual suspects were
Nadia, Bryony with her new bloke Richard, and Simon with Anna.
After the meal we packed out The Rope and Twine for another couple
of hours.
