OK, break over, back to your desks. Today (7th Jan) sees the rush back to work - as evidenced by the flood of traffic (3 cars) past my window at 7am. As do their drivers, as does this blog.
I'm making travel plans today for various excursions. Can't say too much, since some of them are "mystery shopping" trips, in preparation for a speech in 10 days time. I'm told that some of the shops have got wind of the fact that I'm visiting, and have posted a picture of me in the staff room. Ah well. I used to do a lot of this type of thing when I worked at Which? magazine - hidden cameras, the lot. As a result of my investigations, I never eat food from a salad buffet in a restaurant, or pick up one of the mints in the bowl by the till (don't ask).
I wonder if speakers should be "mystery shopped"? I wouldn't object to it at all if it happened to me. In fact, I think the more scrutiny the better. Now, where did I put that tiny camera?

Hi Alan, a quick note to say that as new member of the PSA (Jan 08) I have overwhelmed by the openess of its members at all levels. The advice, support and encouragement that I have received has been fantastic. May the shared ethos of the PSA membership continue to flourish.
