10 Worst Christmas Gifts?

Taken from the Times yesterday we found the top ten worst gifts received by PA's from their bosses... In no particular order:

• A signed and framed photograph of the boss looking manly behind his desk (just when you were looking forward to forgetting him for a few days).

• A DVD featuring the live version of Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody.

• A light-up pair of reindeer horns which only light up on one side.

• A detailed photograph of the office Christmas party at which you can clearly be seen snogging the postroom boy. Signed by members of senior management.

• A tasteless set of itchy, satin lingerie. Three sizes too big and wrapped in a charity-shop bag.

• Two tickets for a Rod Hull and Emu lookalikes contest for a London-based PA just over from Romania. It was in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

• A £5 book token together with a reminder that everyone will be expected to come in an hour earlier from the New Year.

• A two-hour, digitally remastered tape recording of the boss’s annual sales conference speech as centrepiece to a "goodie" bag containing elastic bands and paperclips. Complete with coughing and chair scraping.

• A 300-page compendium of Les Dawson jokes which you just know you’ll be hearing all year.

At least they got gifts...
