    Like they’ll deem Beagles questions irrelevant

    Anyway can submit his questions in writing

    There was a time when common sense was just that - common. Now a days it seems to be extraordinary.

    I would agree with your second statement, but am not so sure about your first ;

    In an annual report (to shareholders I might add) of over 40 pages you know the culture is very strange when the financial review is confined to just 2 pages right down the back of the report like its some inconsequential matter. I think there's some overpaid executives with not enough to do other than to ram all things PC down everyone's throat. Its refreshing to read other annual reports and realise that other companies have a VASTLY more balanced, rational and objective view towards what it means to be inclusive.

    You just couldn't hold back...could you ? I think I commented at the time that it read like a social welfare report...or something like that. Agreed.
