Hat = inverted fruit bowl.
When one of our esteemed leaders was looking for money saving ideas in the hilarious Captain / management meetings, back in EK's cash-strapped days of 2008, I suggested getting rid of the hat - he didn't seem too impressed, though I can't imagine why. My last company did exactly that, saved some money and the problem of all us non-conforming anti-hatters instantly went away........!
Now I'd suggest getting rid of the top three floors of EGHQ - probably they wouldn't see the value of that either.
