Imagine you are running a failing business, it has (by your own admission) large debts due to previous mismanagement and a resultant falling customer base. You have publicly criticised others for not running the business in a proper manner. A potential customer with a pressing reason to support your business openly disagrees with your staffing policies. do you: a) Tell him to spend his money elsewhere? b) Attempt to get him onside and to spend his money with you? c) Steal his wallet and then accuse him of not being security conscious or d) Go off to the woods in search of magic mushrooms singing a song about little men with blue faces? Many institutions across the UK are offering vocational education at reasonable cost. Subjects offered include marketing, communication studies and business management. I'm afraid no institution is yet offering a course in being a fuckwit, so I presume this is in the gift of the self made man..... Betty PS The customer could also have failed to understand that you were just having a larf, that you are a loveable old rogue who just wants to be loved by everyone. Werther's Original anyone? PPS Why am I dreaming of a small, quiet funeral (no flowers please, donations to the Alzheimer's Society) somewhere warm and on the south coast? _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
