Thanks for the help Mr. Brennan's Bread Driver

On a daily basis in work, we try to provide a little energy, optimism and warmth for those stepping in from the mayhem of the world outside. It's all part of the job really - who wants to sell food if the customer is not enjoying the experience? 

I like to think karma gave us something back on Saturday morning!

Martin (one of our KPs) and myself were brushing down the paths of the initially flurry of snow overnight. It's a good 30 metres or so of pathway - just enough to cool the knuckles but also get the heart pumping. As we battled with the slush and ice, a Brennan's Bread van pulled up beside us - odd I thought, as I have never seen them deliver near us before. 

The driver hopped out and tut-tutted our brushing efforts, explaining "I'll show you how it's done".  As he said this he pulled out a bread tray - you know the ones they use to carry twenty-or-so slice pans at a time? Before we knew it, he had snow-ploughed a track three times the size of my brush, leaving a perfectly snow-free path. He handed over the tray, hopped back into the van and drove off!

To the driver, a sincere thank you..... for stopping,.... for giving us the tray,....for showing us how it's done....and for giving us a little light on a dark Saturday morning in November.
