Is the World About to be Taken Over by Millie Tants?
So, Phil Neville came out and apologised today and said he definitely wasn't sexist. Definitely not, never, ever. I am not sure what sort of reassurance folk were looking for as he is not going to come out and say, "Yep, I'm a sexist, that's why I took the job, so I could get on with being one". Ex-Footballer, Frank Lampard, came on the radio yesterday (Radio 5) and stated that as far as he is aware, Philip Neville is not a sexist, as ...

In contrast, Regis was built like an ...
Carillion Goes Bust!
Here are my thoughts on Carillion going into liquidation today. It is a bad day for the construction industry and will have far reaching consequences for subcontractors and suppliers. Don't worry, it is not a trend towards Vlog only posts as I prefer writing but I thought this one was worthy. I only hope that individuals will be made accountable for their behaviour and those who paid themselves huge bonuses based on false accounting will ...
