I wonder what role the guy in the back with his hands on his hips does on a daily basis.

If he is the manager. Then sometimes just being visible to the staff is enough of a morale boost. Nothing worse than one that dissapears in to the office for 7hrs of the day only to appear to tell you they are away for lunch.
Being a decent one he'd be...

Oversee any customer issues, lead staff towards objectives, set goals, motivate, arrange staffing, see to H&S, make sure
staff on overtime are paid, etc.

Just because they don't serve the public or post a letter doesn't mean these people are not busy.
Fair enough there are plenty that shy from work once they come in but the only way I've found to work is to bring it to their attention. In a polite but firm manner.

It doesn't take much to cheer you up!

Never forget! There is no situation so bad that the arrival of a manager cannot make it worse.

I've never liked Westlife, and don't think too much of Elton John either. If RM wants a complete list of 'entertainers' I can't stand I'll e-mail it to Alan, (I'm sure I've got his address somewhere) and save them time compiling a list of future 'stars' for their advertising campaigns.

What a great idea! I'll bet there are dozens of washed up 'stars' who would die to get the ball rolling again by appearing in a RM add. Geldof for instance! Failed punk rocker and someone who really knows how to exploit a situation. Gary Glitter would be another one. The balding perv could appear in a new Christmas ad. Whenever he strutted about the stage in his silver suit, he looked like an oven ready turkey. Jonathon King could make one as well. He could sing 'Everyone's Gone To WH Smith'. We could have Al and Ad doing a bit of 'Gangsta Rap'. There's always The Bachelors or Val Doonican for that celtic touch.
They could really splash the cash and get some real big stars like the bass guitarist from The Applejacks, the organist from The Dave Clark Five and the harmonica player from The Nashville Teens. What a joke these people at the top are!

Sex Pistols singing Anarchy In The UK in a Royal Mail advert - while we are on strike would be Ironic.

Instead of Glen Matlock, that pair would probably hire Glen from Matlock.
