I always thought that Tony Hayward from BP was alright. Here was a chap who's technical skills got him to the top of one of the world biggest companies. He was then thrust into the worlds spotlight and clearly dealing with the media was not one of those skills he possessed. But that was okay, they know that now, doesn't make him a bad guy - anyway, turned out that what he originally said about the breakup of the oil was right on the money. Obama clearly had a different agenda. Rather surprising considering the American dependancy on the sticky stuff and their total disregard for the environment. Maybe this is their shot across the bows, the wake up call to perhaps opt for the Micra instead of the Mustang.
Boardmasters starts today down at Fistral - might go down and take a look. I popped in yesterday - it's all doom and gloom. If you've got a shop down there and no-ones buying, even at heavily discounted prices. What do you do?
We've been luckier than most in Polzeath. There's definitely a change in the air, no question about that. But there's been enough business to go around. It's all down to the weather from here on in. What we have to be reassured about is the changes we've made for the next couple of years. It would be stupid to pretend that it will be anything but very tough for everyone.
