Gordon and I are in good spirits. We will post some holiday snaps (i.e., vacation photographs) later today. In the meantime, we found a great story and headline in the Metro newspaper while eating lunch on the Royal Mile - see below for the photograph I took of the actual newspaper.
Admittedly, the original article didn't come with an accompanying image, so I selected an image (a meme?!) that added the most context to the story. Some of the timelessly and telling quotes from the article include:
"We want to give people that extra confidence... to give people the incentive to find work", "[i]t will recognise those who are doing their utmost to to find employment by giving them a beauty treatment", and "... sometimes people need to feel and look the part when they are going to a job interview".
However, there were some negative reactions to the new scheme. For example:
"It's... skills that will secure a job, not how bronzed you are". So true, so true.

It is all about the tan, man.
