Christmas Carol Competition!

It has come to my attention, that I have been accused, somewhat obliquely I might add, of not quite getting into “the Christmas spirit.” To countenance this speculation, and to demonstrate that I am perfectly capable of “having a good time” (if it’s absolutely necessary), I am today getting into the swing of things by launching our very own “Invent your own Christmas Carol Competition!”

He said he believed in helping “develop people to their potential” because “when they achieve [their potential] they will put a lot more back into the community”.
