The Drayton Bird Blog

Actually it's not so much an end as a new beginning.
You know, "The blog is dead.  Long live the blog" ...
Or something like that at any rate.

What are firms doing about the recession? I suspect many are hiding under the bedclothes and hoping it'll go away. Or maybe they're like this deer.
I get this impression from one fact and one observation.
The fact is this.

The question I asked when I saw this was not "why not?". It was "why on earth?"
I saw it on the platform at Henley Station, just after I had finished interviewing Tony Laithwaite of Laithwaite's and goodness knows how many other wine businesses.
Tony is very modest considering how successful he is. It was only almost as an aside that he admitted he has created what is probably the world's largest wine merchants' business....

Is it politically incorrect to say this? I fear so.
I prefer women to men, always have.
They look nicer, are more entertaining and far more practical. They need to be, to cope with men.
