    HITACHI

    Just had a call from Hitachi. They are moving into the SME market and want to come and talk to me about supporting our IT systems, we are registered on databases as being a company with over 100 employees .
    I had great pleasure in winding them up and exaggerating how big we were. I know that there are many anecdotal stories of them making a mess of things and I said that I was "only talking to the CEO of Reuters the other day and they were not happy with Hitachi's performance" I then told the guy that because of Hitachi's PSL excluding us from supplying I would be reluctant to see him.

    I have asked him to write to me saying I might consider them because I want to send a childish reply turning them down and ccing their head of resourcing

    Anyway I will stick to my part time Polish guy in the meantime

    From what I understand you're not on anyone's preferred PSL with the exception of the Bernard Matthews contract. How's that going BTW?
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

        Get them to ask for a meeting and you say the only time that you are available is lunch time, they will offer to buy lunch.

              Like David Cameron and the EU
              “Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”
