Tough and sticky day in the office hatching an action plan for group internal communication and trademarks as Labour matures, Boycott is sacked by Yorkshire and Sterling falls as the bank rate is reduced to ‘only’ 9%!
Back to work and an early setback with June falling ill and having to be taken home. The rest of the day struggling again with the workload, mail and queries on personnel. I will be most grateful when her assistant is established in post as I do not yet feel that she has fully recovered from her bereavement and its stresses. A visit today by Peter King and together to discuss a full range of issues including a clarification on his own contract. Also today I formulate action plans on structured internal communication and the group registration of trademarks.
News today of the Labour Party Conference and the rejection of the five militant tendency party members. Criticism also of the prison security in Northern Ireland with industrial action at another prison in the province over lack of security. Yorkshire cricket club sack Geoffrey Boycott as the latest crisis for the club, even though he was the season’s highest scorer. Bank interest rates were reduced by ½% to 9% and the pound sterling reduced on the foreign exchanges as a result.
A warm mild day without sunshine but sticky to work within doors and out of the breeze.
