Looking thoroughly unimpressed, Janet asked her: "Why are you so consistently crummy to me?"
Brenda Edwards, who was sitting between the pair, was caught on camera looking so shocked her mouth was open.
Coleen told Janet: "Ahh. It's because I love you. I do love you." She replied curtly: "I know."
Returning to the topic at hand, Janet went on: "Actually I don't want people to have a day off for their birthday because I think it's bad for business."

Referring to a firm that recently offered employees the day off for hangover, she asked: "Where will it end? Ridiculous."
She went on: "Isn't this just part of a general trend where people want flexible working, they want to work from home more.

Janet has insisted she'd "missed out" on fun birthdays shared with friends because it falls soon after Christmas, on December 27.
