A little while ago I took a photography course. As a result I now irritate my family by taking my camera everywhere I go (particularly on walks) and (as they say) spend huge amounts of time taking multiple photographs of the same thing. The dog who is my usual companion is far less… Read more »
I have been involved in a few cases recently (and more than I care to remember in the past) where long-standing, previously well-respected and high performing individuals have been exited following serious allegations raised against them.
