Pink Pussy Polisher
AXA Equity & Law head office in High Wycombe (when there was one) once asked over the PA system for anyone who had seen the pink pussy polisher to please return it to reception. It was a prop from an advert.
My favourite though was when an email went around the CSC Office in Euxton because Bolton FC were asking for their ball back after it came over the fence from their training ground.

A pheasant shoot on a Monday? How quaint. Must be for townies.
Wednesday (normal guns), Friday (overpaid guns) & Saturday (either the pub has run out of pheasant or the landowner is having a party)

The shooting estate is actually on a neighbouring farm to ClientCo's site.
However, there is a gun club with an outdoor firing range on site. You get used to seeing people making their way to and from it toting air rifles (always in cases of course).

How many clients have a shooting estate? Good effort!
Mind you, anyone who had to go to Wythenshawe with Lloyds would have heard a similar announcement.
