anyway do you dress up in your (or each others) uniforms for grown-ups fun time?
Reminds me of something I wondered about - at what point do air hostesses (or whatever the new name is) get bored with their boyfriends begging them to dress in uniform at bed time?
What were you expecting? The fact it got recognised should be enough...or are you doing the job for the 'presents'?
20 years is a fair length of time, but typically we are hearing how all these services are being underpaid and undervalued...and we now see one of the 'long-termers' on here complaining that they got something for 20 years...how about a big lavish party for everyone? Not at your expense...it'll get paid for by the tax payers/government and then after the party you have a right old moan about the lack of decent pay you get, etc.
Personally, I'd be happy with the fact you got remembered...
This isn't a personal moan about you, this is a moan about the attitude of the human race in general...we really are a selfish lot!
Not quite got there yet but some of my colleagues (Nursing) have. Tends to be a similar token offer although my ward sister got a bun and a token for the coffee machine after 30 years service. Once the official photo with senior managers had been taken it was off back to work; past the room where smoked salmon, cold meats, side dishes and a selection of sweets were being delivered for aforementioned senior managers. 🙄
Top effort! 20 years is definitely something to be proud of!
The badge doesn't do your service justice.... I'm sure my granddad got a decorative fireman’s axe for his milestone. Although that was some years ago, before budget cuts 🙄
No Sparx, I believe firefighters are still getting the axe.......thanks to the budget cuts.

"[i]The FBU said its research had found that because of cuts to central Government grants to fire authorities, over the next three years 6,000 firefighter posts will be axed.[/i]"
