It sounded like the ITN reporter said Secret Santas, but I guess she meant secret centers. The wonderfully dramatic injections used by newsreaders today are, I assume, meant to make us think they've uncovered something new and amazing but, in fact, the temporary workers hired by Royal Mail (tonight's ITN "exclusive") have been widely mentioned for a couple of weeks now. And I'm sure most Union members know about the secret centers which cannot be very secret otherwise the new workers wouldn't be able to find them.

I do wish they'd just bring us the news in a straight forward manner. That way they might even be able to fit a few more stories in.
