What to do for an agency party that will refresh both mind and body after a very busy summer?

What sports attire should MD Tim ‘I don’t own a pair of trainers’ Lloyd wear?

How could our aforementioned MD let one of the more junior members of AML win the welly-throwing competition, without anyone realising he’d deliberately forsaken certain victory?

Gordon Ramsay’s York and Albany.
