Eddie, if I can "butt in" here, I suggest you don't swipe any of the decorations down, but ask your secretary nicely to move things a bit more together, so you and Edwina could sit in the end - although I can see that will be difficult! How about persuading her to put some of the things up another place - I think she used to put some things up outside. Wouldn't that be a good place for you?
