Threats and opportunities

15 Nov 08, 11.46am
A week ago it was all systems go, the office buzzing, people arriving, vans departing. Today Rocket Park is deserted save for me and our cleaners Lynne & Charlie. In the office all is quiet except for the distant sound of a vacuum cleaner and a radio. Now and again I hear Lynne singing along to songs like You're So Vain. She can't be thinking of Charlie surely! The tidal wave of firework displays which swept over us this past 10 days has passed and I'm thinking about how we're going to plan for next year. Recession, a tumbling pound, increased costs. But hey, every threat is an opportunity. We'll be there, bigger, stronger, fitter and with a new spring in our step!
