Funny old day and a bit of justice

Funny old day at the office! First had to do a bit of a funny skit at a presentation of Christmas Presents to our Chairman and Founder and C.E.O. Was in best Tommy Cooper mode although only the Fez would have given you any hint of it!!!

Damn, I almost look thin in this picture!!

Telegraph Apology
A week or two ago I moaned about the Daily Telegraph printing a load of cobblers without checking their facts. Today they printed an apology - a bit late and they'll have knocked some folks' confidence in Slimming World for their lack of journalistic integrity and not doing any checking. But better late than never as they say, this was the apology they printed:

Slimming World

Our report (Nov 27) of Brenda Tolley's claims of unfair dismissal and age discrimination against Slimming World did not include either the company's response or the outcome. The company's managing director told the Reading employment tribunal that Mrs Tolley had tendered her resignation following a meeting to address concerns about her performance in developing team groups that were unrelated to her age or appearance. The tribunal dismissed Mrs Tolley's application on the basis that she was a self employed franchisee rather than an employee of the company and had not mentioned her grievance about age discrimination within a legally defined period. We apologise to Slimming World for not including these matters in our report. Slimming World has asked us to point out that they choose all staff for their compassion and ability to help others succeed in losing weight and that they do not practise discrimination of any kind.
