A chap got on the bus in Salisbury this evening wearing a "Sunrise Foods" sweatshirt. Doubtless this is a perfectly respectable company. But I'd just been reflecting that I'm in my 24th winter in full-time, office-based, employment and so I was instantly reminded of Reginald Iolanthe Perrin, the famous employee of "Sunshine Desserts". And I wondered if there was a real company with that name as I'd be honour-bound to apply to work for them.
So, when I got in, I Googled "Sunshine Desserts", in the hope of finding more of CJ's legendary phrases to help make sense of office life. And I found this website.
I weep.
