We Should Let You All Burn

paraphrasing Basil Fawlty.

Deparmental heads came round the office today at 10.45 to tell everyone there would be a fire drill at 11.00. So half the staff got up and went over to the lockers and got their coats out, because it's much too cold outside to be standing there in just shirt and trousers. One enterprising individual, naming no names, went into the kitchen and put the kettles on so that we'd all have mugs of tea and coffee to take out with us. He should be promoted for his foresight and team spirit.

Of course, if a fire did start, the chances are we'd all be in the kitchen anyway.
