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.

    When I started in my job, people got a watch for their 10th jubilee, and even bigger presents for later ones. When I was there for nine years, they dropped the idea of jubilee gifts. Maybe the boss unearths that tradition again - next year, I’m working here for 30 years. And hopefully, the gift will not be something like 30m of cable or something…
