yes indeed Charles this is Mr David Collingwood from the mighty f’care who I mentioned a couple of days ago as having gone live together with his colleague, Mr Sam Kershaw in a ‘broadcast’ to their employees curiously both Messrs Collingwood and Kershaw appear to share the same title – how many more in Manchester retain this esteemed title? – and as I’ve said on here previously, yet more unnecessary layers of management unless my hearing is failing me, neither one of Messrs Timmings, Collingwood or Kershaw seem to have come out with any apology for this, it’s just a… Read more »

yes, this is an absolutely meanless broadcast/party political etc etc

……….but what does it mean or what purpose does it have other than out and out propaganda?

Hi Evelyn

these guys at the top of f’care have ‘no interest at all in apologies’, they’re way above that, arrogance took hold of them too long ago

Jonathan, I wouldn’t engage this person to bury our hamster, and to judge from recent events in Dorset (see GFG “Wrongun” yesterday) his organisation might bury someone else’s hamster in next door’s garden instead.
