I do love those Yes Minister shows - they were on when I'd left for South Africa, so I catch up via clips on occasion .. <br /><br />It's always difficult to put oneself into others' shoes and often we can't comprehend the ins and outs - the poor chap organising things must have a nightmare!<br /><br />This has been a great series .. looking forward to the Z end one .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-9210117701731480832013-04-29T16:54:52.605-07:002013-04-29T16:54:52.605-07:00Diane, that last bit is a pet peeve.

What do you mean, you'll have to hire another staff member to supervise the contractor?<br /><br />Teresa, thanks. Trouble is not everyone sees it that way :(<br /><br />JoJo, yes, Gary (Klahanie) and I have been blogger buddies for a while now :)Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-60347628399238469672013-04-29T16:14:57.344-07:002013-04-29T16:14:57.344-07:00I stumbled on your blog during A-Z and found it in...I stumbled on your blog during A-Z and found it interesting that you are from England and living in BC, b/c I found a blog with a guy from BC living in England.
