There’s been an awful lot of carollers at the door lately. Which is to be expected, given the time of year, and they do appear to have updated their repertoire this year. The problem is that I’ve run out of ways to make them go away. Politely, at least. At least when the charities come ‘round, there’s always a few pounds to spare, and besides, it’s for a very good cause, so it’s not... well, troublesome. But there seems to be no good way to get the carollers to stop showing up here. If I hear We Wish You A Merry Christmas one more time, I might have to write them a very sternly worded letter. Have they ever even had figgy pudding? I have. It’s not worth singing about, that much I know.
Besides. If they keep coming by the door, some people might notice there’s another book shop here. We can’t be having that now, can we?
