Inadequate office air-con aside, Because HQ have frankly not got a bad word to say about the recent warm spell that’s swept the Capital – but, by the same token, we also can’t deny our excitement at the prospect of BOOTS season (and not solely because it means a let-up from daily toenail maintenance).
