I remembered when I was a late teenager and worked in a bank, being in Scotland, kissing went on quite a lot around New Year . When we went back to work we would be kissed by the three male senior members of staff. I cannot remember where the other men kissed me but I do remember the sloppy kiss on the lips we got from the assistant manager. He was a married man with children .
Many years later I worked for a different bank and was more mature and sure of myself. I used to say to my boss that I did not kiss him the rest of the year so why should I do so after the New Year. We had a horrible HR young man who also tried to kiss you . When he tried I turned my face away and he kissed my cheek. He was the same young man who was Santa at the joint Christmas party and you had to sit on his knee before you got your present. I got round this by not putting my name in the hat to have someone else draw it out and buy me a gift.
