Sorry? What do you mean? I’m expected to write more?
What kind of place is this country becoming under King Charles III when a commoner can’t weasel a day off work through an innocent ruse? It seems only fair when so many businesses are closed, football matches cancelled, food banks shutting their doors, holidaymakers kicked out of their chalets, and politicians not turning up for work. Don’t we writers get a chance to pursue that great British invention: the opportunistic skive? Sorry, I mean “mark a suitable period of solemnity”.
However, if you insist…
