"We've been planning since last year".............Didn't he really mean 3 weeks ago. In fact he should have said "we had no plan we just pulled people in off the street". :Very Happy

There is a slight difference between the following 2 sentences:

Pulling people off in the street is an offence. It would be indecent.

Pulling people in off the street is not an offence, unless it is against their will, when it is.

The person interviewed from RM appeared a right plonker, says RM have been getting ready all year. Does he not know we have delt with it every xmas for many years...shame his postion in RM did not reflect in him having a great deal of knowledge of the basic running of RM.......

Just came across as a poor PR stunt.......An item on sooty came on later and seemed more alive ....
