Nottingham - just text!

I'm in Nottingham - giving a Tcl course - for a few days. No pictures yet - sorry. Firstly, I arrived at the venue in a rush (that's another term for a car that has got seriously held up in the traffic) and left in the dark. Secondly, I left the vital cable to link camera to computer beside the bed at home (why, oh why, are there so many different cable standards?). Which will probably have you wondering why on earth the cable was in the bedroom, so perhaps I had better not go on about it ;-).

At Well House Manor, we encourage our guests who use the dining room when they bring in their own food, and there's no-one else around, to clear their plates onto the tray rack. No notices to the effect, but we find that people do it naturally anyway. There is indeed much more of a "clear yourself" culture these days than there ever was in my youth - the American chains such as McD and KFC seem to have brought in the practice.

There are two signs in the training room I'm in. Please leave this room in the state you expect to find it says one, and Please leave this facility in the state you would wish to find it says the other. Tiny difference of words, but for anyone who hasn't got any faith in the tidying ability of other users of the room ... the most enormous difference in meaning!

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
