The New Year is upon us and the taxman cometh!Best wishes from all of us for a prosperous happy and healthy 2013, and here's hoping the current antics of the people we voted for to watch the store haven't totally knocked the Holiday spirit out of you!
Welcome to the Watcher's Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the 'sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.
