Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrum rollllllllllllllllllll………….<\/p>\n

15 Year Anniversary <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At Added Value.<\/p>\n

Good grief!<\/p>\n

I was a mere stripling of 27 when I joind in September 1996 – with hockey hair, patent black interview shoes and a highly dubious wardrobe representing a homage to rayon. (OK, OK so not that much has changed in a decade and a half, I know, I know).<\/p>\n

And here I am now – almost 43 (bloody hell fire, that surely can't be true) and STILL THERE! But I have to say I was well chuffed with the 15 year gift that work stumped up – firstly some wedge towards finally buying a proper world globe for myself – already in situ and waiting till the dust has settled (literally) before it can come out of its very big box, as I got this in August a bit early,<\/p>\n

But also, what I thought was going to be (yet) another composite photos frame, showing the many eras of hair \/ iffy outfits \/ grinning wildly brandishing a cocktail \/ gappy teeth \/ inappropriate behaviour at a company party \/ general Scottyness. As the gift proferred in front of the whole company was indeed large,frame-shaped and had the potential to have nicer wrapping paper over it, than beauteous content within it.<\/p>\n

But here it is below – a Wordle of sorts, which I KNOW will have been massively edited to be favourable and not full of 'stroppy old OCD cow' thoughts… but hey, here's to heavy editing and a very nice result!<\/p>\n
