And to prove it, here is the book. An affectionate and amusing look back at the early 1980s through the prism of life as a first-year student at Britain’s smallest university. These memoirs reveal the shocking lack of mobile phones, internet and social media, through which we not only survived but thrived. Leaving Sheffield to…
Of course it does. That’s what they are for. You’re quite happy with your product or service, hence you won’t buy a new one. So, there’s every incentive to give you exciting new features such as coverage of domestic second division marbles tournaments on sports tv packages or the ability to project 3D image of fruit…
The modern world of cutting edge technology that has required billions of pounds of investment has freed the economy of its vulnerability to the weather.

“We need new blood we need new ideas”. No! That is the last thing any employer really wants when you go there. Think about it for a moment. If you dare suggest any changes you are immediately criticising the people who pay your wages, who have been quite happy doing things the same way until…
A much-maligned body of the workforce; the face and introduction to any organisation. Yet, despite in some fields having specialist medical training to enable them to immediately diagnose any number of ailments just on sight, they are extremely poorly paid. The latter, startling deduction can be made by the fact that they appear to have no internal plumbing in…
