I'm a bit lost, what is special about 16th anniversary?
I know long service awards usually appear 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 etc at work but 16 seems a bit of an odd number, I'm sure someone will point me in the correct direction.
As for ties, could I put forward the suggestion of watches, once we get to the 50th anniversary of the rebuild I would like a......... similar to the Red Arrows.

Speaking of anniversary merchendise

If I was still diving I could have suggested 50 year cylinder wrap... that would be very cool ! Kind of a patience pic meets the bluebird logo, and perhaps the statutory Karl Spencer logo (as used by eurotec)

Lots of divers of all shapes and sizes with tatty cylinders.

Not a special Anniversary as such John just a milestone reached. And didn't want it passing without a mention. As for Merchandise I think Richie's idea would be a good idea for the diving world as would an Oxford shirt and tie for the speed-freaks world . Caps would also go down well I feel. Could we not get a company such a Longines or Rolex on board to produce a time piece in recognition of the fact? May have missed the boat on that one though? Missed the boat

Hang on a minute 50th Anniversary John The grave robbers would probably have that away then

Oxford shirt and tie for the speed-freaks world

Would someone please tell me what a tie is actually for and why anyone would want a shirt that dismantles down the front?

[Terminator]

you've obviously never been tied and teased then or dismantled for that matter Mr. Smith

Ties are part of the sexist, fascist code that tells men what to wear.

How's that for an economical rant?

The most economical rant I've ever seen from you, Nigel.

Guys - a tee shirt and jeans is all you'll ever need. Trust me, it's the future.

[Richie]

Maybe an "It'll lift" shirt for the folk present during the lift ?

Checkie still needs his Checkie shirt with "It'll Wire"
