Like Wallace and Gromit but instead of cheese it’s biscuits.

  • I have two phones. A personal one and one provided by my company. I like being able to turn off my work phone when on holiday, etc and keep my personal life separate.

    I do know a lot of people who sold their personal phones when given a work phone and use it for both. Saves some money I guess but no thanks.

    I also know people who have two phones but install all the work apps on their personal phones to make it easier for them. No thanks!















  • I work for a a UK food manufacturer which did export 40% to the EU. The added costs of getting food over to EU resulted in the sales teams having to renegotiate the selling prices to EU customers. Most basically said no. Why should they pay a higher price when they can source the same type of product within the EU at a lower price. The big EU buyers stopped trading with us.

    When politicians say businesses need to adapt I really have no idea what they have in mind when they say that. We are not in a position to demand customers pay more. And most businesses aren’t in a position to swallow additional costs. The only reason our business didn’t sink is because it’s part of a much larger group so was able to flatten out the financial impact by borrowing internally.

    I’m starting to think “adapt” means tough shit.
