So... you don't happen to need some barley, do you?
Dear Reader,
We've got a bit of a problem here at head office. I'm not going to bore you with the yawn-fest about how it happened, but we've ended up with about 1.1 million metric tonnes of barley that we need to offload pretty quickly.
I mean, I suppose we could just leave it lying there in the reception area, but I fear the mice infestation will start to affect morale after a while.
Thing is -- barley is a great product. The Chinese have been buying it for years. So if you happen to have a herd of cattle, or own an industrial brewery, or bakery perhaps, get in contact because we're happy to do a great deal on the stuff.
Perhaps you could consider buying a herd of cattle, so that you can buy some barley from us? How about that?
I mean, I'm sure with the lockdown, you haven't been shopping in a while. You've probably saved up some money that you would have otherwise have spent on shoes or clothes or entertainment? Why not dive back into shopping by going on a barley buying spree?
In fact, if you visit our website and use the coupon code "FUCKUP", we'll send you 20 metric tonnes of the stuff absolutely free. But hurry -- the mice are getting more bold by the day.
(Oh -- and it looks like we might also have a stack of coal too that China isn't going to buy. Anyone want to build 900 extra coal-fired power stations to get rid of the stuff?)

P.S. We're releasing a comedy album next week ("The Non-Essential Collection") as a tribute to all the non-essential workers who've sat around during the pandemic not being particularly useful. I'll email about it on Monday.
