Anyone see the story of the Executive character building exercise undertaken by a group from Maersk Shipping?
Apparently they embarked in Poole Harbour in two kayaks and managed to capsize them both. Enter the rescue boat, they all tried to board at the same time and capsized that too!
Life boat duly pulled them out, two taken to hospital with hypothermia, one with asthma attack. A spokesman for the organisation responsible for the exercise said 'They were in no danger, the water in Pooole harbour is only four feet deep.'
My wife's comment was ' Not so much a team hug, more of a team glug!'
