M&S

"Albatross" by Fleetwood Mac is playing in the background

V.O.

These men and women enjoyed a long Christmas break with all their family and friends gathered around a traditional log fire

They maxed out their loans and bought exquisite presents to make sure everyone had a glorious festive period

Their Turkey was stuffed with truffles, glazed in Honey and came from an organic free range farm

They held parties with no expense spared and bought extravagant costumes to dazzle their guests

And now they've lost their job, their bank manager is on the phone, they can't get any more credit and the bailiffs are knocking at their door

They're not just screwed, They're M&S screwed

ENDS

Ooooh! I like this a lot. I'd be sending that in to a topical sketch show type thing if I were you. I am, of course assuming M&S have actually laid some people off - I haven't noticed in the daily litany of closures.

Yeah they've laid off 1200. Need to rustle together a few more sketches before I bother News Revue or Treason methinks.
