Title: Huge Biscuit Order ahead of Club 55 Promotion Post by: Maxwell P on September 15, 2011, 14:16:33 Colleagues at a certain depot in the south west tell me that 12,000 extra boxes of biscuits have been ordered to pre-empt added demand when the Club 55 Promotion kicks in. Similar amounts of fruit cake have also been stockpiled. For the uninitiated, Club 55 offers unlimited freebie snacks for first class passengers of a 'certain age'. It also gives them discounted rail travel. ;D

Trouble is, the company would need to serve burgers and fizzy drinks to that section of the market.

When I was 15 I didn't really have ^55 to splash about and I doubt many other 15 year olds do!
