Lunchtime Links: Have a very merry time until January 4th
This is the last day our editorial team will be fully functional until work resumes in January. A few of us will be present on the 31st, when we'll post our outlook for 2010, but for the rest of the time we will be indulging in mulled wine and Christmas cake while attempting to avoid the Eurostar and black ice.
May you all have a very pleasant, very relaxing and very beneficent break. Drive carefully if you take to the roads. Here are our penultimate links of 2009....
