HMV is back, just a decade after defunct as young music enthusiasts abandon streaming in favour of vinyl and physical media, according to one of its bosses. Generation Z, according to Phil Halliday, the firm's managing director, is assisting the once-ailing chain in resurrecting its position as one of the High Street's most recognizable and dependable shops. Vinyl has seen a revival in popularity, with record sales in the 21st century hitting new heights last year - although many people are still suffering from'streaming exhaustion.' This, as well as a dramatic rise in cassette sales, that Mr Halliday says has left HMV'very optimistic' about the future, it's this. As a result of record-breaking sales, the company, which was once forced to close down stores and layoff employees, is now planning an exciting expansion into Europe and Canada.

However, the difference between aspiration and reality is the one that causes the most trouble for Christmas parties. We have visions of wowing our colleagues; impressing the boss; and kissing Mr Darcy's look-alike from marketing. Rather, the truth is that we are allered and tense underwear, we drink heavily, and Mr Darcy is a no-show.
