Kevin Parsons received a certificate and a mural from the Guernsey store.

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.

    40 years is almost a lifetime. That’s almost straight from school/college to retirement.

    In a better reality: “Besides this huge bonus we have also made a big payment towards your retirement fund to make sure you are set for life.”
