If you had a singalong at the end of an all hands in Britain, almost everyone would throw themselves through the nearest window.

Oh, I don't know; I think with sufficient alcohol a rousing rendition of Who ate all the pies or something would go down quite well.

"sufficient alcohol"

I remember all-hands meetings like that - one in particular where the CEO tried to buy the hotel at 4am so he could order the bar open. The withering disdain of the barman was quite something.

Mind you this was in Scotland so "sufficient alcohol" really means something.

Sounds like something from Withnail & I! "All right, Miss Blennerhassett, I'm warning you, if you do, you're fired. We are multimillionaires. We shall buy this place and fire you immediately."

More like the defenestration of whoever was daft enough to suggest singing.
