Some years ago, my boss was found to have been creative on a works PC.
OC OPs took me to one side and asked me if he needed to ground the fleet!
"No", said I, "it's an easy fix to restore the status quo."
As LSO on the system, I was called in by RAFP for a "formal interview under caution", did I want a solicitor? "Yes" said I.
GB was in the process of retiring, so I got his No2 - Nigel Burn
Turns out my boss hadn't put in place the required backstops, so by doing my LSO job and reporting the offence ASAP, I was squeeky clean!
As Nigel Burn was my solicitor, the whole GB partnership offices were out of bounds for my boss to use.
He got Neville Squibbly*, a spotty 19-y-o from Hartlepool Polytechnic* as his brief! (*made-up name, *made-up location!)
SDSR10 was looking for redundancies............................!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess What happened next!!!!!!!!!
