10 Months Later!

This meeting was held on the 3rd December 2009, it lasted 1hour and 39 minutes and contained answers to perhaps the most important question to be asked since the financial crises threw itself upon those who are supposed to be competent in guiding our "financial path" away from such catastrophes.

I found it interesting to revisit the meeting and wonder why it takes 11 months to implement these recommended strategies, after all they are hardly rocket science, any back street financial adviser would have given the same advise - Cut Spending and Raise Revenues!

What does this teach our kids?

I deal with businesses around Leicester (who produce high quality garments for high street stores) who would love to be able to compete fairly for this work.

I personally experienced attending my first day at secondary school dressed like an ex prisoner of war, the war my Grandparents fought in to ensure my (and your) freedom of choice. I feel that Monopolies like this certainly should not be allowed.

I have learned how to laugh about it now but it wasn't funny at the time.

I try to influence my kids to be competitive by all means BUT on a level playing field, anything other than this is cheating, to win by FAIR means is the name of the game! I, for one, do not want the education system influencing my kids to believe in cheating.
