These are strange times?  Do readers open BTN in their offices, or on the way to work, or at home? When do we publish the first issue of the year?  It can be Monday 4 January or the following Monday.  Is BTN read the last few days before Christmas, not so normally, but what about this year?  The team always has two weeks off over the holiday period.  That is sacrosanct, but will there be any news to talk about on Monday 4 January.  Or shall we have three weeks off?  In any event the Christmas quiz will be on the BTN home page from the last publication of the year until midnight on Sunday of the first edition of 2021, whenever that may be.
