So, the US presidential elections are a hot topic, no doubt.. It seems I couldn’t avoid them, thanks to my colleage at work, who streamed the debates, and news from the US elections, into the office, each and every day!! Thanks Greg :) As much as I wanted nothing better than to ignore it, like […]

For some reason, I’ve always, from a young age, subscribed to the belief that it’s a bad thing when children have to work, and that it’s wrong, and that it should be stopped. What I failed to realise, is the importance of children starting work at a young age. I was just watching […]
