From my mate Des. A lesson on how consultants can make a difference in an organization. Last week, we took some friends to a new Indian restaurant, 'Muthu's Place,' and noticed that the Indian waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I observed that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the Indian staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired, 'Why the spoon?' 'Well, 'he explained, 'the restaurant's owner hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all of our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.' As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he replaced it with his spare. 'I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now..' I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the Indian waiter's fly. Looking around, I saw that all of the Indian waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So, before he walked off, I asked the waiter, 'Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?' 'Oh, certainly!' Then the Indian waiter lowered his voice. 'Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also learned that we can save time in the restroom. By tying this string to the tip of our you-know-what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39%.' I asked quietly, 'After you get it out, how do you put it back?' 'Well,' he whispered, 'I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon!'

If I've got to cheat to win I'll pack in,you're only cheating yourself.I've been a clock setter since day dot.Can someone tell me why we waste a piece of string and a seal,it's plain to see when a clock as been opened.ETS know absolutely nothing about them apart from being seriously over priced,right from the first purchase to the last ring,bloody disgusting.Had the chance of buying a benzing,still in the box,have you seen then price of a 20" pad>>£200.I'll stick to the STB for a while unless I can be lucky and get a grant

Another new race point for Derwent Valley/West Cumbria,Upper Heyford (Oxfordshire)around the 200 mile mark.

Good book take out of it what suits you and digest.For nothing at the price it stands at. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=dave+allen+widowhood+year&_sacat=0 Lindsay

Sent you a pm.For your eyes only.

One thing that I would like to add is just because that a feed is dear doesn't make it the best,it might be better than some, but I'm a big believer in barley and beans AT THE RIGHT TIME.

Not annoyed mate,as you say everyone has an opinion and all feeds whatever they are can be adjusted by the fancier,if you want to sprint I wouldn't go past Gerry +.especially with young birds.Been among pigeons for 60 + years and what suits one won't suit another.I race into what I consider the most difficult route in the UK.as it says under my avatar.
