Getting By

Peter

'Twas ever thus.

Ask any Policeman/Woman with any years of service how much effort and money is wasted on 're-learning' what has been proven to work/not work previously.

Its a bit of an 'age' thing really.

Anyone who has read your columns over the years, knows how much time and effort as been expended in gaining this experience, but try to convince the up and coming that 'the oldies' have been there and done that!

Sorry, but it is an uphill and probably fruitless task.

I would take huge odds that there will be readers in a wide range of industries and services who have experienced exactly the same situation.

Kind regards
