Least surprising news of the decade




In news that will shock you to the core, Ferrari has been voted the Best Place To Work in Europe by the imaginatively named Great Place To Work Institute.

"Over a thousand companies throughout Europe participated in the survey which measures the degree of satisfaction of employees with their place of work and picks out the best working environments. This alone makes Ferrari’s achievement particularly impressive. In 2003, the then Ferrari Maserati Group was voted the Best Place to Work in Italy but this latest award is the ultimate acknowledgment of the company’s ongoing commitment to the personal growth of its staff" said the Institute in a statement that will surely become one of the most unlikely ever issued.

As the news that the hugely successful Formula One constructor and sexy sports car maker (based in Italy where the food is fabulous and the women look like Sophia Loren when Sophia Loren was young) is the best workplace on the Continent, further shocking news has arrived from scientists that bear droppings have been found in a nearby wood!

(We apologise for the excessive sarcasm in this last news item. Normal less-sarky service will be resumed as soon as the editor stops crying into his chipped tea mug.)
