Still Not Decided How To Vote?

If you are like me and you are finding it hard to decide how you are going to vote tomorrow, here's a very helpful little flow chart provided by our ace local photographer Peter Raymond. Follow this carefully and you will have no trouble in coming to the correct decision.

With the stock exchange graphs looking a bit like this at the moment it can be a bit scary if your pension and life savings are tied up in investments. And that's why we have left it to the experts who are managing all this sort of thing for us. We have a progress meeting with them tomorrow. We'll keep our fingers crossed although it will be difficult for anybody to know what to do in the light of the current turmoil with volcanic ash, Greek bankruptcy, Portuguese wobbles and Spanish record unemployment. Oh and a general election with an uncertain outcome to boot. Promises to be interesting.



And speaking of experts, here's Max Vidal who is not only an expert in Instanta technical matters but is also proving something of a wizard in football forecasting. Max is a keen player in our Guardian Pick The Scores contest which has its final day on Sunday. Not only is Max leading everyone here at Instanta in both our staff and our friends' leagues but he is lying fifth in the whole country and just a few points away from winning. That is a real achievement. Anyone can predict a few scores correctly now and then but to do so consistently week after week does require a bit of skill and Max has been ahead of the rest of us for months now. So good luck on Sunday Max. We're all rooting for you to win the league. As for the rest of us? I'm third a few points behind Jenny and a few ahead of the pack. It promises to be an interesting climax to the season.



On the business front things are running smoothly at the moment and we have a good number of machines on order and a very big potential order for our under counter models to go out in June. It will be great if that comes to fruition as these are quite excellent units.




I was just having a quick catch up on our brochure designers Workhouse Marketing's blog and spotted a few interesting items. The first was about the resurgence in Direct Mail. As Workhouse MD Mark Jones says, this is a very effective way of getting the message across and we will be taking his advice on board and sending a few mailings out in the near future. Mark also mentioned the effectiveness of video case studies and puts in a bravura performance in an example that Workhouse produced for Business Link. I could see these short films being really useful for demonstrating the super features on our latest range of boilers and much more. My only question for Mark relates to a clock that appears in the clip.What was the office doing open at 6.45? At 6.45 here (both am and pm)it's like a ghost town.

I'll leave you today with an original little film.
