It was a very challenging event. We were the Lunch time production and the workers could NOT have any drinks as they were still working and dressed in work attire which proved very challenging for Lee to steal items, but he managed to steal 3 watches with metal bracelet straps, belts, id passes, pens, and the odd tie. Great fun had by all.

The rest of December is full with Corporate Parties in the West End of London a small break over Christmas and through to the 9th of January 2011.
