@TrufflePR Full marks to you. But I'm not entirely sure what it was about. Chips? Pants?

RT @whealie: @psmith Really, should only be offering W/E if you have the time to devote to the coaching and mentoring and report writing involved.

The press release featuring a Beckham looky-likey to advertise underpants using National Chip Week as a hook is an all-time classic.

@whealie I just wondered if there was interest, which there is. Not decided exactly what to offer but it won't be workplace abuse.
psmith 18 hours, 36 minutes Ago
@whealie that's why I'm in two minds about it. I'd like to link it to a specific course and make it part of their training.
