Now is a good time for high earners to consider advancing gifts to charity rather than waiting until after 6 April. To understand why, visit my @stewardshipnews colleague, Rachel Steeden's blog on the topic: https://t.co/fIO7OGxVQZ

@sainsburys Thank you, Steven. I already knew that. But it doesn’t answer the question that I posed. Can Sainsbury’s please respond specifically to the original question?

[Kevin Russell @KevnRussell]

@sainsburys I read on social media that a Sainsbury’s supervisor told a shopper that none of your stores’ Christmas music can include anything that contains the name of Jesus. Is this true?

[Kevin Russell @KevnRussell]

@sainsburys Hi. Just wondering if you overlooked replying to my response of 15/11:
“Thanks for your reply. Does that mean that the comment in my original question is true or not?”

[Kevin Russell @KevnRussell]

@sainsburys Thanks for your reply. Does that mean that the comment in my original question is true or not?

[Kevin Russell @KevnRussell]

@sainsburys Thank you.
