Witch Craft
We’ve gone to town this week; Harry has been busy doing some illustrator fiddling and lookee here. We have created a poster that explains exactly how the Laundry works for you to print off and stick in a clever place, maybe behind the reception desk, maybe by the Laundry bin*, the work notice board or places that people actually look at, like out of the window??

Also if you leave your job with a pocket full of highlighters and a briefcase full of industrial secrets, the poster will be your Laundry legacy – keep the paper coming.

Also this is my absolute favourite that Kathleen sent me; people without slightly childish sense of humour may frown, but we turn that frown upside-down with:
