Well, the world's biggest sales promotion is upon us yet again, and though Hard Times abound, I'm sure the good ship Blighty will load itself to the gunnels with turkey and British sprouts (none of those Brussels variety, thank you very much), and a fair helping of Christmas pud and the Royle Family, and sail out in January fighting fit and ready for the recovery. We're fleeter of foot than our competitors across the channel (remember, not a single home vessel lost in the sinking of the mighty, but sluggish Armada), and what a great chance to prove it once more when the markets (of all kind) open for trading in 2009. I've travelled a fair few of the seven seas and have yet to find a marketing community as ingenious as ours - never mind that we have a secret weapon called Hard Work. Thanks for reading in 2008. Good luck for 2009!
