"This is a very sad day for UK manufacturing. A successful,
iconic, independent UK brand will now be owned by a giant
company with massive debt". Cadbury RIP
What's left... No British confectionery, No British manufacturing,
no British water, No British power.
The service industries that's what - Creative Britain expanding to fill the void!
It is estimated that between 2010 and 2013, the UK creative industries will grow 4 per cent – more than double the rate of the rest of the economy.
One small problem...We have never come across any design / media businesses
that employ more than a few hundred people and that was in the hay days!
Now.. If we can just find a way of selling off the ground we stand upon and the
air we breath... We might just pick up a nice piece of branding work!
'Cheesychoc' anyone?

Social media....
The writings has been on the wall since the 90's and out of it will come a
new set of services, products, companies, careers and job titles... A good
thing for us all...in the current climate .
As long as we can manage the exponential whilst keep social interaction and
a society in place

Reducing the ranks of the unemployed
We read with interest
....The Holiday Inn is employing human bed warmers in order to ensure that guests get a good night’s sleep.
Dressed in special all-in-one sleeper suits, the human electric blankets are sent to warm the beds of guests staying at the Holiday Inn before they get under the covers.
The five-minute free bed warming sessions are being tried out in London and Manchester later this month.
This should help reduce the ranks of the unemployed, being a good way of hiding those messy statistics in the evening.. Not sure how the three million will hide away during the hours of daylight though!
Assume they are all called Mr/Mrs Smith!

London - Snow = Standstill
One inch - Late to work, leave at 1.00pm, just in case.
Two inches - Start off for work, never arrive.
Three inches - Stay at home, venture out once to stock up on emergency provisions.
Six inches - The economy in freefall, never mind, it's only January, plenty of time to make up lost ground.
Anyway most of our clients are using up their 2009 holiday entitlements or skiing.
