** Caption competition - #2 **

The standard set from our first batch of captions has been very high. In fact, I'd say the best ever ClapClap ClapClapClap

So here's our second and final cartoon for this year.

As before, the winning caption will win £50-worth of M & S vouchers. Thanks again to Simon Heath for the illustration!

FORMAT

You are invited to post your witty caption suggestions below. Extra points if you can somehow wangle in an “HR” slant to your caption! Funny is good, too - although be warned, the judges (CIPD staff) are tough nuts to crack. 

The obvious guidelines on rude words and gratuitous product placement apply. Thank you.

Both this and last week's caption thread will remain open to entries until midnight on 31st December - and the winner will be announced when we all return after the New Year break.

Good luck...

* Tip: we’re looking for *captions* - which tend to be better when short-ish in length.

    Dear Santa

    I refer to our previous email correspondence regarding your use of the designation Santa Claus FCIPD.

    Whilst we applaud your tireless work in our tube trains ( especially from our HQ here at the Wimbledon spur of the District Line), we cannot possibly accept your explanation that FCIPD stands in your case for ‘Facilitator of Christmas In Passenger Depots.’

    However, both in the spirit of Christmas and in recognition of everything you do to promote commuting-employee engagement, we have officially made you an honorary Fellow of this our Chartered Institute.

    So, you be sure to have a very Merry Christmas, Santa Claus FCIPD!
