With Nick now having left the web team, the pre-Christmas blog falls quite rightly back to me.  As the SO2 Internet, I am the Lieutenant Commander in charge of the internet team.  The military team within Navy PR go on leave this Friday - including myself - with the civil servants working a few days extra next week.  It’s manic in the office as all the ships, submarines and establishments try to clear their In Tray’s before they go off on leave.  Maybe they think the Christmas elves will be clearing the web office In Tray over Christmas !  Strangely the Air Squadrons are very quiet!
