5 Minute Management Course - Lesson 1 :

A priest offered a Nun a lift...

She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

The priest nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.....

The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.   The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.  It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story: 

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Banking Scam

This warning was recently issued by NatWest. Banking customers should be alert to current scams which could result in your financial loss. A common scam involves an overpayment on the pretext of an error by a prospective client. This is commonly followed by a request, usually by email, for the overpayment to be returned electronically. This is just an example and scams can take a variety of forms.
You can protect your business by being vigilant at all times. Remember, if something appears too good to be true then it usually is. Always undertake appropriate checks to ensure you know who you are dealing with, and do not release goods or funds unless you can be certain that any payments to you cannot be returned unpaid. Do not issue refunds on cheques until at least 7 working days have elapsed. Fraudsters can be persuasive, so be particularly alert when pressured to release goods or funds before you are able to undertake essential checks. 

WARNING re 192.com

Warning re 192.com. In my personal experience, I found this website confusing. You pay for credits; £11+ for six. You then try to search the Electoral Register but there doesn’t seem any difference between that and the free search, either in page layout or results, so you try again, searching the same name and or address – result you have lost two credits. One would have expected a warning that a credit was being used, or possibly the search button to be labelled, ‘Use Credit’, but neither is the case. Take heed, it is very easy to use up credits unintentionally. One further point; you may think that you would be able to view the register for a particular electoral division and scroll through it – you can’t! You can only search for an individual and view the results for that name.

Rachel speaking at Alfreton Hall

Good morning Rachel,
