Nicky in. She has hijacked the shop’s Facebook page again and left this typically bewildering post:

Good morning everyone!

With a song in my heart, I skip in to work only to be berated for buying books off a customer for £45, whereas the BGC would have paid £175. Happy customer, happy me, disgruntled tube, sorry, I meant to say ‘boss.’

BGC is Nicky’s current nickname for me, and stands for Big Ginger Conundrum. ‘Tube,’ for the uninitiated, is a Scottish insult, the politest interpretation of it being ‘idiot.’

One of this morning’s orders was for a book called Moscow Has a Plan, superb cover design, and I’m sure Mr Putin would be delighted with the title.

Received an email from Monsoon with a Log Me In code so that they can remotely access my computer and fix the problem. Once again, owing to the time difference, this meant that the database was down for most of the day, which meant that Nicky couldn’t list our stock online.
