Head Office are up everyone’s arses to ‘Festify’ all
our workplaces. There’s no money available for staffing, obviously, but they
can throw countless thousands into a pot to spend on baubles and tinsel. They
seem convinced that making our garage look like something vomited up by a tipsy
elf will persuade our customers to dip in their pockets for chocolates. I can
understand them decorating the stores to death, but why do we humble filling
stations have to follow suit and fill every able wall space with glitter? I
find it hard to believe that a Volvo driver will see an advent calendar on our
counter and go “Oh, shit, yeah – Christmas! Better get my wallet out and spend
nine hundred quid on Heroes.”
I love December, but I’m already pining for January.
