Today 1st March 2023 is World Complement Day!

Brilliant: I set out this morning with every intention of being complementary to  suppliers and customers. The day didn’t start well with a major smash on the M1 and I sat there for nearly 3 hours, I got carved up by a black Mercedes with darken windows who thought the best thing to do was to drive along the hard shoulder, then cut across me to get back on the carriage, so no complement for him!!  When I got to work a representative from Affinity Water  told me they were going to close Herbert Road, which was going to make it virtually impossible  for customers and deliveries to get to us, so again no complements to them!! The Galvaniser  arrived and the driver was told the road had been closed, but he managed  to navigate his 7 ton lorry up all the tiny back streets and  then back down Herbert Road from the other end.

This is Ben from Medway Galvaniser and he was the only person I  complemented  today, because everyone else was RUBBISH!!!

It was actually really pleasant  just wandering around and taking everything in.

Do I miss not having a stand there, yes and no, but probably more No!

February is not the start of the season but with the days getting longer and orders coming in it does feel like the end of the winter is not far away!

Spent the morning at the Harp working on our committee boat.

The reason for this post is to thank Brian Jeffreys and his team for all the hard work they do, it really is a never ending job, and to Russel Hall for his help in restructuring the steering.

All I can say is thank goodness we’ve got something to do!

It is incredible how many are now in use, in fact 1.1 million drones were registered in the U.S. in 2019.

What do I think?

Well it’s not great when your own self-lands in the middle of a lake, and don’t forget gravity is always a problem.  As  far as the images  are concerned, well they are absolutely amazing!

Everyone  will  remember exactly what they were doing yesterday evening when we heard the news, for a huge number of the population the Queen has been present all our lives.

Our thoughts are for all the Queen’s  family, and my thoughts are for Princess Anne, the mother daughter bond is very strong and forever. I only met her once but in that short meeting I became aware for the first time just how hard working members of the Royal Family are.
