said Michael. Of course we have known this for 14 years and the Key is that for
us to do this we need to ‘be around’ we need to exist,
we need to keep plodding and beavering away.</span></font></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black;">Making the task a bit easier so that we
can concentrate on what we are meant to be doing as opposed to debating, having
consultations, arguments, minding our P & Q’s just in case we might
upset a Commercial Station (oh by the way, a Commercial outfit that
are quite happy to cherry-pick people for their gain) …… the
observations are endless and we know all the tired arguments.</span></font></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black;">Lots of hot-air of course and empty
promises and more consultations and bits of tinkering around the edges creating
not a lot of forward movement but quite a lot of frustration, irritation and
dare I say – resentment.</span></font></p>
