A shop assistant in Guernsey has been awarded 40 sausage rolls for 40 years of service.

Fifty-six-year-old Kevin Parsons started working at the island's Alliance supermarket in 1984.

Bosses marked the anniversary by giving him a certificate, a tropical-themed mural for his home and a sausage roll for each of his next 40 shifts.

Mr Parsons, who was described as an "Alliance celebrity" by bosses, said "words can't express my appreciation" for his gifts.

My headcanon is his boss kept trying to give him a lovely tropical vacation for retirement and he kept saying “nah, i’d rather sit at home and relax”, hence the tropical themed mural for his home.

My headcanon is, boss won the mural on a tropical vacation, hates it and now gives it to his employee.

This is now official canon.
