  • I actually don’t see the post as that nuts. He’s got a point, some folks just want to get a name on their CV and HR people are shallow enough to value it.

    My point in being pedantic is that three language in a corporate setting is based on business English. Companies deal with loads of people from different countries and cultures. However, a self-styled leader and mentor ought to know better as the language used can captivate or put people off.




  • This was the 80s, health and safety be damned. People would build wooden cars with ball bearings from washing machine for wheels. It was a basic wood plank from fruit boxes hacked together with some nails. We’d hit the steepest road (yes, with cars occasionally), climb to the top and zoom down the steep descent. Ended in a 90 degree turn which meant that using shoes for braking didn’t always work and some folks would hit the pavement and be launched. Kids as young as 6 to teenagers would all join in. No adult in sight. Ahhh… good times!
