It wouldn’t be a Christmas Special without a cuddly story, and what could be more suitable than a nativity tale? So we are delighted to announce that Becky and Neil Dawson have produced Isaac, a young brother for Oscar. Isaac weighed in at 6lb 8oz on Day One [is that featherweight? – please check – Ed.] and all the family are doing well. So let us put aside Linda Cook’s grumbling about the payroll software refusing to believe that the same member of staff can go on maternity leave twice. And let us also put aside Ian Harris’s annual “bah humbug” noises at Christmas time. Instead, we wish the Dawson family all the best and also wish all Now and Z/Yen readers a very happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
