> Folks ....... This appeared in our Inbox today so we thought we'd
share it with you. We're not sure who actually wrote it but we agree
completely with the sentiment although we do tend to think that the
author may need to brush up slightly on his diplomacy skills. Having
said that a bit of straight talking never did anyone any harm - he's
probably from Yorkshire.
Right on
