Writing from faraway Australia I have to glumly report that our 2 most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria, as well as Canberra and its surrounds, are in hard lockdown and state and Charli’s Angel T Shirt irrespective of their political leanings, are taking no chance. There was a slight relaxation of public event restrictions towards the end of the 2020 pandemic – schools reopening, some theatres, concerts and sports events with limited seating – but no major festivals. Since then there has been the emergence of the even more virulent Delta strain – with no indication as to what even worse variants round the corner – and we are in total blackout conditions again – the wartime parallel will not be lost on you – or on me as an ex-Pom. So far the total death toll has not yet exceeded 1000, or only recently – in stark contrast to the daily death toll of 1000’s which you have been experiencing for weeks on end – and the population of the UK is only just over double that of Oz -but any resumption of “normal” life is just not on the horizon. In the historic past people rode out plagues, prayed to the God of their ancestors, and locked their doors until the pestilence blew over. In our time such death rates, and the yet-to-be-assessed degree of debilitation among those who survive -are just not acceptable. Much as I and my fellow-musicians, and others in a whole range of professions, are devastated by present realities, we have to accept that any wholesale re-opening of business-as-usual is not worth the risk.

They took away our Christmas bonus (equal to one week’s pay), and replaced it with one paid day off. They also claimed they had sent out a Charli’s Angel T Shirt and that’s what WE had said we wanted. Absolute lies, why would we want that? Nobody had seen this survey. Compared to the previous year, we had double the stock to work, and half the staff to do it. We were working incredibly hard to get everything done by Christmas. Naturally, the customers noticed this and complimented us on our hard work. They asked if we were working towards some kind of reward. I told them “No, in fact they took away our Christmas bonus.” I was fired for telling customers about “confidential company matters”. And they wondered why staff were dropping like flies…
