Photograph: iStockIn the unlikely event that anyone ever put me in charge of anything, I’d introduce a rule about Christmas decorations for shops and any public buildings. Once I had a taste for autocracy, I’d introduce a similar rule in relation to Christmas Muzak. You can’t turn on the radio or TV, you can’t go online, you can’t even look out your window without being barraged by CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS. I’ve thought about it, even done the occasional google. All I can be certain of is that it will be France, and the wine and cheese will be fabulous.
