A Friday thought on Drinking

Looking back over the year’s articles, it seemed an appropriate time to re-post this one.  The time between Christmas and New Year is for many filled with food, drink and occasionally forgetting what day it is!  During this period, if you are lucky enough to be off work, be sure to plan your merriment around Read more about A Friday thought on Drinking[…]

People do as they are told, right?

The truth is, our behaviour is based more on our learning from experience than following instruction.  However, if a rule is written to keep us safe, or an instruction is given that will make our company more profitable, why wouldn’t we follow it?
