Put Put

The Support Team are developing a reputation for being "in the know" and for getting the most exciting work. This is not something that I want to undermine, after all I want more people to apply to join us next year. But it can reach amusing levels.

One night Zippie and I were called to attend an issue as quickly as possible and to get some teams there. We were in the vicinity and we soon had four stewards there. The matter was resolved smoothly. But later we were approached by someone who had been listening in on the radio. He commented on how we had an exciting role. Then he asked us to explain the code words we used. We looked blankly and asked for further explanation. He said "well I heard you earlier, go on, tell me what "Steamboat" means". It was heart breaking to tell him that the call had been to attend the steamboat stall. {for those not in the know, the steamboat stall sells small boats made of tin that run on candle power by producing steam}
