The old sayings are the best (FSB)

My attention has been drawn to an old page about goings on at the FSB and I was reminded of the various happenings in this area last year which I talked about on 13th September, 20th December and again briefly on 18th February this year.

I am reminded of the saying "a leopard cannot change its spots". And, reading the above and hearing that there's still more happening on the basis of "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again", I'm very glad that I decided not to stand for the local committee this year. "Choose your battles carefully" they say, and I have chosen mine in the campaign for appropriate public transport across Wiltshire, not in the in-fighting of the FSB who seem to have forgotten that "The Customer is King" - and that their customers are the businesses who join them.

Update - November 2009. This article has recently been brought to my attention as being potentially biased, incomplete or in error. I am happy to make necessary additions to complete the story or reflect other views, and to correct any error of fact. See here
