Well, there has been a lot of talk recently about how we are now officially in our worst recession in history and the worst recession of any G7 country. We also have the highest Covid death rate of any European country.

On top of that, everyone’s rights are more equal than anyone else, if we leave the country we might not get back unless we take a dinghy from France; our students have been robbed of their future; the polar ice cap will melt and will drown us all and we’re all going to hell in a handcart.

Well sod that for a game I’m playing. Are we really going to buy this bullshit? Should we all just pack up now and prove the doom mongers right?

I made the point in my last piece that I think there are so called experts out there making money providing worthless pieces of futuristic voyeurism and they have no evidence to back it up and they have no historical events that confirm what they are saying is true.

I looked up ‘unprecedented’ in the dictionary to get its actual meaning. The most over used word of our time means – ‘never having happened or existed in the past’. So how come there are so many willing to say what will happen to the economy, what will happen to our health, the government should have done this, the Prime Minister should have done that??? It’s tiring!

So, this is what I am going to do. I’m going to promote our business as if none of this has ever happened. If people like what we say and have the same values as us, then they might just buy off us and if they don’t, they won’t. I’m going to respect my team and listen to their opinions and ideas and we will do this together as a team should.

I’m going to ignore everyone who TELLS me what I should be doing and listen to those that might have sound advice.

I will switch off the news and ignore the weather forecast. If it’s cold outside I will put on a jacket and if it warms up I will take it off.

I hope I can do all of this with a smile on my face and if any of you want to join my love in then the more the merrier as long as you follow whatever the bloody Covid rules are today.

Oh, and although Covid was my catalyst for starting these musings I’m going to stop mentioning it now!… so, what the hell will I talk about next time?

Let’s be careful out there, you might just find life enjoyable.
