Office Party Pooper
This is one of the things I find endearing about the UK – this is the only country in the world where news like this gets coverage on every TV and radio station:

RoSPA issued Christmas party health and safety warning
“Companies have been urged to make sure their staff do not injure themselves at office Christmas parties by dancing on desks or photocopying themselves.

Managers should not even put up mistletoe in case it encourages sexual harassment, warns a report from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) and the TUC.

Roger Bibbings, an occupational heath adviser at RoSPA, insisted the organisation was not being a Scrooge, and instead called on firms to hold their festive parties in a hotel or bar. “We are not being party poopers,” he said. “Some sensible safety precautions will allow people to have a great office celebration without having to call in the emergency services.”

Frances O’Grady, TUC deputy general secretary, added: “There will not be much Christmas cheer in your workplace if your winter wonderland turns out to be a danger zone.”

A separate report has said that festive hangovers could cost UK firms £65m. Norwich Union Healthcare estimated that up to £65m worth of working hours will be lost due to staff taking time off to recover from their Christmas party excesses.”
