New Sun 26 Feb 12 12:09   Who would do what in Car4Play Ltd? - Iffy

I've been thinking how the breadth of expertise and experience on here could be deployed if there was such a thing as Car4Play Ltd. Starting with the key role of press and media relations, well, there's only one viable candidate, isn't there? As for the rest, in no particular order: Company accountant has to be Mapmaker, I reckon with him doing the numbers the job would be done straight, but we wouldn't pay a penny more in tax than we need. Pat will be in overall charge of what I believe is now called logistics, with gb, Dave and Harleyman doing the driving. The company's legal advisor will be RP, and security will be down Westpig, Fullchat or Woodster. I'm giving sales and marketing to Humph, he has big and small company experience and is not afraid of a bit of graft. Lots of good candidates for IT, but Zero is my nomination, if only because I'd rather have him inside the tent peeing out, than outside peeing in. I don't see a lot of value in the likes of human resources, health and safety, and admin, so I've lumped those together for Bromptonaut, who would do a decent job - if he could put up with my griping about cost. Company doctor is Lygonos, I'm sure the staff would be properly looked after, but he wouldn't tolerate any lead swinging. If we want to trade internationally, we have some ready made representation abroad with Mike Hannon in France, Bagpuss in Germany, Ian in Cape Town, Nick down under, and doesn't one of us live in Hong Kong? Premises management and maintenance goes to Martin Devon. If the company can afford private air travel, Fursty Ferrett and retpocileh can do the flying. That's not a bad team to start with, and united by a common goal, we might even get on. Any other nominations or volunteers welcome. Reply to this message | Report message       1

Tell you what though, I've lost count of the number of "business plans" I've written in my life or indeed co-authored. Three year plans, five year plans, you name it. Not one of the ruddy things has ever borne any resemblance to the actual eventual results. Sometimes expectations have been way exceeded and on other occasions the reality was way below. The number crunchers always point to the now defunct document and do the "you said" bit ! My usual thought, if not official response is "well, if you're going to ask a silly question..." Business plans at best are an informed guess as to what might happen if a particular strategy is followed. Nothing more. They can't be. Too many goalposts on wheels, moveable feasts and uneven playing fields, particularly in the modern world. Who would like to write a truthful growth driven consumer product based strategic plan for the next three years? I wouldn't. But in order to gain funding and finance you have to pretend that you can. It's all a game of informed chance right now. Sometimes you drop lucky, sometimes you don't. Then when you think you've scored a commercial goal the customer goes bust or doesn't pay ! The old rules simply don't work any more. Will they ever again is the bigger question. I want to be a lumberjack. Reply to this message | Report message

It won't come from a Firth, I think the South will need desalination plants long before us up here. :-) When the London contingent visit they usually have a soap explosion in the shower until they get used to the soft water.

We use a filter jug for all our drinking water. It helps to keep the kettle scale free and eliminates the chlorine taste so prevalent, particularly if the water has been in a bedside located glass overnight. Reply to this message | Report message

>>I think the pH is around 6<< Quite soft then, and your kettle doesn't scale up - unlike my brother's in Kent, can hardly see the element in his kettle (I'm thinking back a few years) My water from a private bore-hole is 5 and so it corrodes my copper pipes, I'll have to install a corrector unit which will up it to around 7 or so - similar to Buxton spring.

Every company needs one... >>There's a thieving, crooked African businessman in Ousmane Sembene's film Xala who makes his chauffeur wash his Mercedes with imported mineral water. << I once washed the Prelude using the free mineral water supplied to townsfolk at Contrexeville in Lorraine, in full view of a hotel dining room full of women on the Contrex weight-loss programme. Got a lot of horrified looks. I also once jet-washed it at Lourdes. Went like the clappers afterwards... Reply to this message | Report message
