Flapjacks in the post

Flapjacks in the post.  Normally the postman bring me bills and rather dull letters about car insurance.  Imagine my delight when the doorbell rang this morning and I went to the front door to discover a box of toffee flacks awaiting me!  A friend of mine had remembered that Blackfriars is now offering a special delivery service and had decided to send me a box on (one of) my favorite varieties.

(By the way, I don’t think it matter how many flavours we introduce, I think that a toffee flapjack will always take some beating.

Which flavour of flapjack would you most like to recive on your doormat?

First day Flapjacks

A recruitment company who wants to make a good first impressions has come up with a rather clever idea.  When a new member of staff tarts in a job, they send a box of flapjack to them.  The new member of staff then gives out flap jacks to everybody in their department (or to the whole company) as a way of saying hello.

they tell me that it works better than a bunch of flowers and is a better icebreaker than anything else they have ever tried.  if you want to make a good impression with a client why not think about saying it with flapjacks!
