IIRC Dave was an arsehole. He may have been the same guy who brought his pet spider in to show the MD.
You might have changed his name for confidentiality but we all recognise a Gavin when we see them. And you are the Cabinet Secretary and ICMFP
Are you Ron?
Now I do wish I could have got my hands on a Claymore, even a drill/inert one. They make great paperweights/bookends.

I have a pair of bookends made from a 25 pounder cartridge case fired from the one o'clock gun at Edinburgh Castle which has been cut in half. Amongst other things....😜
You get some strange gizits and leaving gifts when you (used to) work in EOD. Luckily I have 'Free From Explosives' certificates for them! I don't have an inert Claymore, but I know a man who has.
the consequences can get worse than being fired.
Fired upon…
Thrown discus style you could have someone’s eye out with a hobnob!
Crumbs! 😳
Thank heavens for that. A good result. I can now expunge the horrific mental image of an eccentric old dear being brassed up in the tea room by an over zealous tactical firearms unit, following a tip-off from Brian in accounts. It was very vivid. The excessively perforated ‘perp’ lying covered in hob nobs, bourbon creams and the shattered remnants of her ‘you don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps’ mug.
So did I, and continue to every time I read it! 🤣

Sorry, you mean you would prefer a live one, but happy for an inert one if thats all thats available ??? 😯
Replica ?
