Unilever Gone Wild

So, waaaaaay back on Dec 18, the night before we left to go back to the States, Unilever Leatherhead had its Christmas, no, sorry, Xmas, Party. It's best told pictorially, but a few of the key points I'd like to note are:

• In the UK, "Xmas" is not taboo. They haven't caught up to us in they ways of political correctness (which in this case (and many others) is misplaced oversensitivity). Additionally, they are okay with saying Xmas OR Christmas, and make fun of our "holidays".
• Our Xmas party was a "fancy dress party". So what, you say? Well, in the UK, "fancy dress party" = "costume party".Taking a bit of the costume party stress away, there was a theme. The theme was "Posh & Becks' Xmas Party". Also taking away some of the stress was the convention of teams dressing up together.
• This wasn't your average sit-down dinner. We had a trio of sopranos to entertain before + during the meal, a Robbie Williams cover band, and finally a DJ as musical entertainment. There were Bumper Cars (oh, sorry, "Dodge-ems"), which are lots of fun after a few drinks. There was a virtual reality soccer goal, casino games, and, of course, an endless flow of alcohol. It was over the top.
• Finally, there was a "Price is Right" game where you had to guess the value of a whole table of luxury items ("posh" purses, shoes, champagne, etc.). I WON! The real value was £3,380, and for my guess of £3,367 I have won a £250 gift card to a place of my choosing.

As I said, best to check out the pictures, which I have pared down from about 330! I'll leave with a great picture of "Team Becel" in our Fancy Dress:
