Three members of Gridstop staff got treated to a day out on Sunday. With compliments from our wonderful Courier firm, Global Freight Solutions, they were taken to see the Cowdary Park Polo. It was The Final of the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup for the British Open Polo Championship - what ever that 
means. I'm not a polo fan, myself, and haven't the faintest idea what goes on, but both our Ebay Guru, Alison, and Equestrian Leader, Lisa, are. Andrew just poodled along for the hell of it, I'm sure . . . or it was the lure of free champagne.

Polo is a rather posh sport, and the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup, I assume, would be of no exception. Instantly they were faced with the dilemma of what to wear - being female, it's a huge decision. But they soon decided and off they went.

But they soon decided and off they went. However, I soon heard of horror stories about tights being purchased from Tesco's on the way, and being squeezed into in the back of the car whilst our Spiritual Guide, aka Andrew, deliberately swerved back and forth. I was instantly filled with visions of women screaming, men laughing and denying everything, and legs flailing about everywhere. Oh yes, our crew fit in rather well with the posh ambiance. They done us proud!
But on a serious note, they did. The trip worked on the relationship between us and our couriers. Just like our team bonding days with our warehouse staff, it 
brought us together, allowing us to work more efficiently, and in the end providing you, the customer, with a much better level of service. There was a hidden motive behind them gallivanting off, and it couldn't have been all fun, what with all that champagne they had to force themselves to drink, to smile and laugh, and look as if they were enjoying themselves. All in the aid of trying to give you a better shopping experience.

But at least they learned a valuable lesson: Never attempt to put on tights in the back of a moving car. You're asking for trouble . . .
