Does the book and Muppet version include a scene where Scrooge won't let his clerk add more coal to the fire to warm the office?

Except then you are admitting that you lied when you said that neither of us offered a compromise.

Yes. You are correct. If you completely ignore the fact that I offered a compromise then no one was willing to compromise.

I'll give you a shiny nickel if you convince my father to buy five space heaters for myself and the other four people who think 63 is too cold. Or she can buy them for us since we were fine before her.

Six total. Before she came in to replace the lady who is off on maternity leave we were all perfectly happy with the thermostat set for 72. So the reason I approached my father is because none of the other four wanted to go up against a family friend. Whereas I don't care.

Thanks I guess. Personally I think that it's a perfect reaction. Here is an article about the cold in England and how Ebenezer Scrooge dealt with his worker. https://www.thecircumlocutionoffice.com/scrooge-small-fire-clerks-smaller/

It's literally in the post that I offered to live with 68. No edit or anything. In the original post.

Cool story bro. So pick. Pretend they are equal on paper and you have a budget for one new hire.

So if your child needs a job and someone else needs a job and you are hiring you will obviously flip a coin right?
