Celebrate with us as Red Letter Days turns 24 tomorrow!
It’s true what they say, time flies as you get older. None of us can believe Red Letter Days is about to turn 24 years old. We thought the circumstances called for a catch up over a cuppa with our longest serving staff, Anne… What is your name, job role and how long have you been at Red Letter Days? I’m Anne Guerin, Head of HR and I have been here just under 16 years – amazing! That’s a long time, I bet the company has changed plenty? Absolutely, beyond recognition! I remember starting as call centre agent 5 when we had only 20 staff altogether at the offices in East Finchley.…

Today We’re Celebrating: The Things Dads Say
With Father’s Day fast approaching, we thought it would be quite fitting to celebrate the many amusing things dads say. Popularly known as Dad-isms, these often short, sharp phrases are used by the male parent to bestow wisdom or teach life lessons – and sometimes they’re so random it’s hard to tell what their purpose is! Here’s a list of 10 typical Dad-isms you may just recognise… Don’t ask me, ask your mother Do you think I’m made of money? You are NOT going out dressed like that Who said life was supposed to be fair? Don’t let the bed bugs bite… You don’t know you’re born If you can’t…

We’re Planning… June Fun in the Sun
June is finally here! Although up until now we’ve been a bit unlucky when it comes to weather, we believe that the best of the sun is yet to come. British weather is nothing if not inconsistent, so when the sun does put its hat on, we want to be ready to enjoy it! Here are a few of our favourite summer activities to enjoy over the next three months. We’re not sure why it is, but anything cooked on a barbecue simply tastes better and there’s nothing more summery than the smoky smell of chargrilled food wafting through the air. When the heat comes, get out of the kitchen…

Superhero Experience Days
Everybody loves superheroes – super strength, super speed and super skilled! It would be great to have a superpower for a day, which got us thinking – which of our super-heroic experiences would our favourite superheroes choose? 1. Superman Superman is famous for many things – his cape, his barrel chest and his excellent disguise (a pair of glasses!), but arguably his most famous trait is his ability to fly. We reckon Superman would love our body flying experience – free fall through the air and strike a heroic pose in true Superman style 2. Elastigirl (The Incredibles) Elastigirl possesses the very useful super power of being able to stretch,…
