I attended an Audit Commission jolly last year - best hotel in Central London, fab presentations, expenses covered. Biting the hand that fed me for a while, but I was never quite clear exactly what it achieved.............
I thought that was the whole idea of a jolly. A pleasing time pretending to be useful, that is why they never use the cheaper options.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
