Precursor
"It came with ribbons! It came with tags!"
"It came with packages, boxes and these damned brass things that held 'em together and had to be pulled out with pliers!" (*Apologizes to Theodor Seuss Geisel)
I have a must-listen every Christmas, of which, the choice might seem a tad strange for most folk but to me, the image of 'an old dossier lurching down a darkened London street, under the mist-shrouded lampposts, as it's pissing down, to spend his Christmas night lying in the rain' is just so powerful and so telling of the "reality" for so many at this "festive" time of the year.
