overboelare airfield overboelare airfield is a private use airport near geraardsbergen east flanders belgium right erm yeah look at the congress just wanna wrap this up now erm by bringing in the erm example of greece er the er er greek revolt erm just to recap on that slightly it started round about eighteen twenty one although actually there thered been erm er simmering discontent in the amongst the christians in the balkan area for some time we we neednt worry too much that thought but erm the greek revolt itself in eighteen twenty to one to round about eighteen twenty five had gone on without any european intervention to some extent this was due to the influence of the er of of erm who was able to hold er the russians back from intervening on the grounds that it would be er seen as intervention in a er in in in a revolt erm the revolt is of course essentially a nationalist revolt i suppose there are liberal overtones in it but its essentially a nationalist revolt after eighteen twenty five of course erm the death of alexandria especially of nicholas russia is more inclined to intervene especially as the greek rebels are being defeated because of the mention the intervention of of erm turkeys ally erm er egypt egypt a a a a problem for the turkish empire the ruler of egypt mohammed ali intervened in the revolt on behalf of turkey with the promise of territory in the area erm and the revolt begins to er er er crumble erm so russia decides to intervene and at this point erm is especially concern of britain and the upshot is that in eighteen twenty six britain suggests in essence holding a congress to discuss the er er greek revolt erm britain and france are very concerned about the prospect of russian intervention erm and in essence a kind of congress is held at st petersburg its not trotted out in the old history books as one of the conferences or one of the congresses rather in fact its its more often referred to correctly as a conference erm it consisted of the ambassadors of the great of the of of the great powers erm er meeting together at st petersburg erm its theres a certain irony about all this as we know erm canning had to a great extent welcomed the end of the congress system his famous comment about things are back to as they should be every nation for herself and god for us all erm but in twenty six he in a sense does a u turn and hes concerned to get great power cooperation to solve the greek er er problem the other irony is of course that up until at the previous congresses like verona erm britain hadnt attended at this one austria doesnt attend and same well and and prussia as well for that matter but theyre not so so important at this conference the great powers involved are britain russia and france of course the other irony as well is that the powers that meet at the conference at st petersburg er the powers decide they will intervene in greece and theyre intervening of course here on the side of a revolt which is going against the grain of erm of certainly for russia of course of er of of the attitudes of the eighteen erm er eighteen teens early eighteen twenties the idea was basically to produce some kind of semiindependent greece er of course as we know or we might some of us might know from er brit his that erm from british history that erm in eighteen er erm the turks refused to cooperate in this and erm in when was it eighteen twenty seven at the battle of navareno the british navy sunk the turkish fleet erm thus to a great extent erm ending the erm er the prospects of turkish success what what was that battle again navareno navar avokea or navareno bay erm its more i think its more technically known as avokea see if theyve got a reference to the oops oh no it is nav im im sorry im confused arent i it is navareno yeah erm again you neednt worry too much about the er erm about the ramifications of this kenning died in twenty seven and britain to some extent disentangled herself from the greek revolt but the upshot was that in eighteen thirty greece became an independent state her independence guaranteed by britain russia and france okay erm i suppose we ought to mention in this context as well er belgium ill probably refer to it again later on er in belgium of course in eighteen thirty erm a nationalist revolt broke out in response really to the french revolution of that year which well be looking at briefly in a sec erm this was a direct challenge to the vienna settlement of course as we know at the vienna settlement belgium was put under er er er er essentially under dutch rule erm britain and france were prepared to defend belgian independence the other powers were er at odds with britain and france ie austria russia prussia so again we see a split in the er in in in amongst the great powers what i just its britain and france were prepared to support belgian independence erm russia prussia austria not and we are seeing in eighteen thirty a significant gap between on the one hand erm the western powers and on the other hand the east european or the central and eastern european powers in eighteen thirty of course the east european powers were unable erm er to intervene er russia had erm a revolt in poland to face austria faced disturbances in italy prussia of course couldnt really act by herself but we are seeing a widening gap and indeed erm in the eighteen thirties we see the formation in the west of the so called quadruple alliance not to be confused with the great quadruple alliance of eighteen er thirteen the quadruple alliance consisted of britain france spain and portugal which had by now got sort of liberal constitutional governments well its erm its erm its about i think its about eighteen thirty three thirty four doesnt really matter its the earliest er early eighteen thirties and on the other hand austria russia and er prussia its munchengratz isnt it forgetting me er me munchen yep in fact they may even have a date for you here yeah eighteen thirty three munchengratz its an agreement to defend each other against the threat of revolution yep erm so we are seeing by er the early eighteen thirties something of a formalized split between the er er the powers of er the quadruple and then the er quintsimple erm er alliance im referring obviously to the quadruple alliance of eighteen er er fifteen okay perhaps we can er er wrap a few things up on the erm on the er vienna er settlement and the congress system itself what actually happened in belgium belgium became independent sorry yeah belgium became independent erm its ind its independence was recognized fully by all the major european powers by eighteen thirty nine it was regarded as erm it was one of palmerstons one of palmerstons great triumphs wasnt it isnt it the case that palmerston when he was on his death bed had the clause to the belgian treaty read to him to cheer him up okay erm lets perhaps make a few comments then about the vienna settlement itself the old er the old kind of chestnut question is was it a success or a failure i i id say with the with the revamped exam youre not likely youre not likely to get a question like that was vienna successful but youre gonna get a much wider question if it comes up on this and erm perhaps in incorporating the congress system but lets approach it from that that perspective anyway i think the best way of looking at this is to kind of take an openended version of what the vienna settlement is all about er not just the treaty in eighteen fifteen but the whole congress system erm after eighteen fifteen onwards and into the eighteen twenties and such like erm i suppose the er the classic interpretation of the er the vienna settlements is that erm in in the nineteenth century was that it was a failure and there was a there was a kind of er consensus beginning quite early actually theres a kind of consensus view that in the language of ten sixty six and all that the vienna settlement was a bad thing erm and i say this view is is in some respects being er erm er expressed relatively early on erm and you even get it associated with leading rulers or states er statesmen of the day for instance erm somebody like napoleon the third he emerged as president of france as prince louis napoleon in eighteen forty eight and he er he erm achieves power by coup detat and becomes emperor in eighteen fifty two napoleon the third is someone whos er who sees it as one of his objectives to undo the vienna settlement erm and youve got other leading figures of the day count cavor prime minister of piedmont in eighteen er fifty erm and someone whos described as perhaps one of the architects of italian unity he becomes the prime minister of of a relatively united italy erm in eighteen er eighteen sixty cavor is someone whos er right cavor is someone whos hostile er to the vienna settlement let alone of course large numbers of liberal stroke nationalist erm revolutionaries within europe in the eighteen er twenties thirties and forties the various national secret societies and various nationalist movements like er young italy and theres even one called young europe which is kind of a pretty pretty much catchall one but the various nationalist societies or the revolutionary purpose theyre all hostile to the vienna settlement and that perhaps er having mentioned the nationalist erm societies this perhaps gives us a clue to it the the view was taken that the vienna settlement was hostile to liberalism and nationalism that was the view taken that the vienna settlement was hostile to liberalism it was hostile to nationalism and therefore it was wrong because the argument goes that liberalism and nationalism are the great triumphant er ideologies of the nineteenth century and the vienna settlements not only wrong but it was historically erm in a sense doomed because it was trying to oppose the growing erm unstoppable er ideologies of er erm of er of europe by the way erm its always rather amusing when you see in the old history books the er the idea that erm that to give an example somebody like metternich you get the old idea that metternich ignored liberalism and nationalism erm thats a very a very misleading way of putting it metternich in many ways thought of little else except liberalism and nationalism the vienna settlement didnt ignore liberalism and nationalism it tried its best to clobber it it tried its best to actually er suppress it and dont forget erm perhaps we ought to say a word on the er on the conservatives side here erm dont forget its people like metternich and indeed castlereagh and the other erm er figures at the vienna settlement they were looking back in eighteen fifteen at twenty odd years of war and revolution and if that was you know you could i supp you could argue that the french revolution had been built on notions of liberalism and it had encouraged nationalism in europe and therefore you could associate liberalism and nationalism with war terror erm and perhaps therefore it wasnt all that desirable obviously as well in metternichs er er in metternichs case nationalism would be the end of the austrian empire because the austrian empire the habsburg empire was a conglomeration of large numbers of different nationalities nationalism affected other great powers as well erm russia russia in eighteen fifteen grabbed poland prussia had still had chunks of polish territory little bits of it prussia of course more especially more especially prussia feared a united germany if you brought if you got a united germany then prussia would simply be a small part of that united germany so its important to note that nationalism the prospect of nationalism was seen as undesirable by the er major european powers it didnt nationalism had no erm wouldnt affect france as such didnt affect britain well it affected ireland there was always the problem of ireland i think its a bit wrong perhaps to say it didnt affect britain perhaps it didnt affect britain at this time but as we know from british history one of the understated reasons why erm there was a lot of hostility to home rule for ireland in britain was because of the fear of the creation of a hostile state er erm off off britains shore erm so thats one aspect of vienna it was seen as being opposed to liberalism as opposed to nationalism and perhaps there were there were er there were there were good reasons er for that by the way erm are we relatively clear whats meant by liberalism and nationalism within this context should i perhaps digress and say a little word erm er about this perhaps i will its perhaps of some interest to us that erm these to great isms liberalism and nationalism i think we can see them as products of the french revolution or indeed products of perhaps enlightened attitudes certainly with the case of liberalism in a sense if we think of the context of say the late eighteenth early nineteenth century perhaps more perhaps more specifically we think of the er of the er erm early nineteenth century liberalism and nationalism are seen as two sides of the same coin they were seen as inextricably bound up erm all liberals were nationalists and to er i suppose by and large vice versa as well erm as ive said the er the the two er known as the two isms the two ideologies are by and large products of the revolution or in the case of liberalism perhaps of the of enlightened attitudes by liberalism liberalism meant a number of things it meant primarily constitutional government it meant primarily constitutional government written constitutional government liberalism oh it meant by and large constitut it meant it meant primarily rather constitutional government liberals would look to for instance the con the united statesconstitution they would look to the er er to the constitution of of of france in say seventeen ninety one or the more radicals amongst them would look erm the more er the more radical liberal if thats not er if thats not a not a contradiction in terms dont think it is they would look to the constitution of eighteen of seventeen ninety three others other in nineteenth century europe looked to the constitutions granted in eighteen twelve for instance in spain and in naples these arent er er er they tend to be a bit ignored in history these but theyre of interest in eighteen in in late eighteen twelve erm with the prospect perhaps of napoleonic rule in difficulties you see in some of napoleons some of the client states of napoleonic europe spain naples you see constitutions being granted which are are pretty democratic actually and th the theyre looked to by er european liberals as as model constitutions when you get a revolt in spain in the eighteen twenties what is the revolt in favour of the revolt is in favour of the constitution of eighteen twelve so they believe in constitutional governments erm now obviously in the context of constitutional governments its not one can imagine having a constitutional form of government without without a parliamentary system but erm its perhaps a bit of a stretch of the imagination but they mean by erm constitutional government they also er er liberals also believed in the notion of parliamentary government its very much connected to late enlightenment notions that the only valid government would be representative government other forms of government are in a sense illegitimate absolute rule monarchical rule well not necessarily i mean unless the monarch was was was er was part of the constitutional set up but representative government was the only really legitimate form of government of course there was debate amongst liberals on how much representation there would be or to put it erm erm erm more simplistically how how many people would have the vote erm we see this within the context of the reform movement in britain after eighteen fifteen where youve got reformers ranging from those who want the household suffrage er household suffrage a vote to all householders across to those who wanted erm erm a universal male suffrage erm one man one vote erm european liberalism is based upon is based upon context as well of secularism or to perhaps er put it more to put it to make it more erm obvious anticlericalism this didnt necessarily mean hostility to religion as such but the notion of secularism the notion of anticlericalism meant that within the liberal states erm the er er there would be a separation of church and state erm the church would have no role within the state as being say in a erm erm in other words there would be erm the catholic church in in erm in say er a state like france er should not be the established church there would be a separation of church and state and by and large the activities of church and state would be separatist the church would play no role in the affairs of state erm other notions erm of liberalism of course again which are perhaps pretty obvious freedom of speech and implied in that freedom of religion freedom of expression that kind of thing but in essence theyre the main er er the main aspects of er of of er what was meant by liberalism in the er in in er the nineteenth century erm it perhaps doesnt strike us as being very revolutionary but of course it depends from the context that youre in erm to perhaps some of the absolute rulers of er of er perhaps this was revolutionary erm what about nationalism nationalism we perhaps some of the er er some of the erm concepts of nationalism appearing even before the french revolution you begin to see er in erm in parts of europe in the er later eighteenth century a growing emphasis upon er er upon language literature of of certain areas im thinking of italy here primarily erm as it develops under the impact of the french revolution and napoleonic rule and then later what nationalism came to be seen as its the basically the idea that erm that people of a common culture history and language should occupy perhaps thats the wrong word er should er should have a separate state should not be ruled by a foreign power so a people with a common culture history language should live in a separately defined state and certainly should not live under the rule of a foreign er power and our classic examples of course there erm of of of this situation in in post eighteen fifteen europe are germany italy poland now ive ive suggested that erm in the early nineteenth century liberalism and nationalism are very much bound up er all all nationalists in a sense are liberals or liberals are nationalists one aspect of this of course one reason er er behind this is is the french revolution lets not forget that erm under napoleonic rule you do see the creation of a socalled king of italy its northern italy erm napoleon happens to be its king and and it is very much a client of france we see the creation of of of the confederation of the rhine a a kind of erm united germany erm within in these states as well youth the the nationalism of them although its in the french direction its associated as well with the ideology of napoleonic france erm which does imply an attack on the old feudal regimes er er er previously existing erm so after eighteen fifteen there is this link between liberalism and nationalism i dont wanna go much er er further ahead on this for the moment we do tend to see liberalism and nationalism parting company especially after eighteen forty eight and as ag i will ill be returning to this obviously in consideration of italy and germany but it is perhaps worth making this point now you do see liberalism and nationalism parting company erm and you do get this growing awareness that not all of that while all liberals might be nationalists all right thinking liberals in europe from gladstone in england you know all right thinking liberals support nationalist aspirations gladstone a great advocate of italian unity for instance gladstone an advocate of er of of balkan nationalism he wanted turkey out of the balkan er er out of south eastern europe so all good european liberals are nationalists it starts to become apparent very very clear that not all nationalists are good liberals in fact far from it erm if the choice is between securing er your er securing your own state securing the nationalist goal and ignoring the liberal goal many nationalists will go for the nationalist goal if the price of bringing about your united state is the dumping of liberals then so be it in that sense nationalism of course er it perhaps becomes a more dynamic and problematic ideology in nineteenth century europe so i ive digressed er from er considering what erm erm er what this has got to do with the er erm congress of vienna but i think its er hopefully er er a worthwhile erm er digression erm let me turn er briefly to the those who have something good to say about the vienna settlement its had its supporters er one is always reminded that one of its key supporters the former american er er secretary of state and and at the moment globetrotting world expert er henry kissinger kissinger erm who began life as a er er as professor of history his first major work was a defence of the vienna settlement erm and it it it it has been defended on a number of grounds its been argued by its supporters that it ushered in an era of peace erm at its most extreme interpretation theres an argument that erm that the vienna settlement was a factor in maintaining peace in europe between eighteen fifteen and nineteen fourteen because its extreme supporters suggest that that it wasnt until nineteen fourteen that a war broke out involving all the great european powers erm one would argue thats er thats er thats an extreme erm er view erm there are wars in europe after eighteen fifteen and some people might argue the vienna settlement was a factor in bringing about some of these wars so its again unfortunately its it comes down in one of these erm pays your money takes your choice erm er arguments but it is worth making the point that for instance if we take a look after eighteen fifteen of at the wars theres war between russia and turkey in er eighteen er thirty when russia militarily intervenes in the turkish revolt of course theres the war war between russia and turkey as well in the in in in the eighteen seventies but for the moment im just looking perhaps nearer to the vienna settlement itself erm theres war between er you get the crimean war between russia on the one hand and great britain and france on the other and its always worth remembering about the crimean erm episode that austria in essence intervenes on the side er er intervenes not so much on the side of britain and france but against russia austria played a decisive though nonmilitary role in er in in the vienna in in in the er in the crimean war erm and then we have the so called nationalist er wars for instance eighteen sixty four between denmark and prussia and austria technically prussia and austria here representing the german confederation its a war concerning the vexed and famous schleswigholstein dispute of course which im sure were all familiar with the erm eighteen sixty six war between prussia and austria these are this is the war which essentially brings about german er unity under prussian erm erm control prussia is the victor of course of this war shock win for prussia shock win for prussia what a kind of er foo sports page headline isnt it yeah if what youre suggesting is there was an expectation that prussia might not win the war yeah and given the fact dont forget its always worth remembering this and ive ive made ill be making the point later on most of the german states supported prussia in the austrian prussian war including the states supported austria sorry supported austria not supported prussia i think now of course there are the wars for italian erm er unification eighteen fifty nine a war between au between austria on the one hand and france and technically piedmont on the other although the piedmontese army didnt arrive until the battles were over there was war between on the one hand austria and the other hand france and piedmont erm and then of course in a sense almost bringing these things together the the major and perhaps most influential of these er wars the war between france what is normally referred to as the francoprussian war i suppose to be technical it ought to be the er it ought to be referred to as the franco german war it ought to be a war between france and a united germany but as it is it is primarily prussia thats er involved the war between france and prussia eighteen seventy to seventy one the argument is is that okay these are that certainly erm we see a number of wars in er nineteenth century europe but the argument is well theyre not very big wars are they theyre theyre short er wars they range i mean er the the er the er prussian austroprussian war of eighteen sixty six is is referred to as what the six weeks war and and erm the five five weeks of that or or or whatever were were involved in peace negotiations the war itself was just three days erm there was only one battle in it you know but that erm that the war between france and erm and and and austria was fought in june erm essentially in june of er of eighteen er fifty nine they are short wars the argument is the same with the dan danish austro danish war the wars in denmark and austria and prussia one might imagine a rather short lived er war how long did it take well not very long i suppose its erm in in that sense erm er i i i i can see what youre this i dont think thats a factor in in in the in the erm in in the fact that these wars are short i think these wars are short because theyre fought for limited objectives they dont tend to escalate because the because only one or two of the powers are involved in them or three perhaps in in in in the crimea erm nevertheless to some extent the wars reflect the breakdown of the vienna settlement so its a kind of a strange argument to suggest on the one hand the vienna settlement was a factor in in preventing wars between all the great er major war involving all the great powers erm when at the same time the vienna settlement appears to be crumbling like after er erm after eighteen thirty or something of course erm its perhaps perhaps its looking slightly to the er historical future it its er it it was bad news in one sense because erm there came to be a view taken in europe that wars between the great powers would be short sharp wars and hence the feeling in nineteen fourteen when the first world war broke out that it would er all be over by christmas because it cos people were you know erm as is often said generally of of a of a general staffs of armies theyre always fighting the previous war there was this view that the first world war would be rather like a rerun of some of these wars at the end of the nineteenth century erm which didnt turn out to be the case erm so i would say ill just wrap this up erm on on erm on on on this point the er by making by introducing the fact that some some historians have argued that these wars were short okay they had limited objectives they were correcting the vienna settlement thats in a way how you can perhaps square the circle you can argue these wars were corrective erm and the other factor that thats introduced as well is that the powers got into the habit of meeting in congresses and you do see erm in the nineteenth century erm the powers still meeting together for instance at the end of the crimean war in eighteen fifty six the peace treaty thats er er thats held is actually a congress all the powers attended the eighteen fifty six treaty of paris its not just a a peace treaty signed by its not just er its not just a direct signing of a peace treaty between say france britain russia it turns into a congress the congress of berlin eighteen seventy eight when it appears that there might be a major outbreak in erm in in in in south eastern europe the powers do perhaps get into the habit of erm of erm of meeting together okay anyway well er leave it at that then for the moment

point of view today because we have actually finalized that and thats the reason for the the amended recommendation right are you happy with that oh im sorry mr wants to speak sorry thank you chairman briefly er i think that explains why we havent got the erm item mentioned in paragraph seven it does indeed yes sorry i should have mentioned that yes erm this is something that ive spoken with about over a long period and what really has concerned me is that weve two red signals both facing the traffic and children and blind people could be crossing thinking the traffic had held up and when i or detecting we rely on our own engineers maybe going round that way maybe the police or public reporting it that doesnt seem to me to be a very satisfactory way of detecting that these systems werent working and with such complex systems as weve got such as the system it would take one person quite a number of minutes if not hours to check all the lights so i very much recommend this system and i should i suppose declare an interest when you start to talk about bulbs right thank you is that recommendation agreed then sorry chairman just a very quick point could we also look at the actual time thats on crossing signals sometimes you hardly get any time to cross the road before the actual lights turn and particularly the handicapped and the blind yeah okay thank you im not taking any more on that thank you we have agreed the recommendation we will bear that in mind thank you mr erm item sixteen the onstreet parking supply and management contract you want to say something about this one as well i would like you please to refer to the county secretary in the recommendation on page seventy three with the county surveyor im sure hed rather let the contract page seventy three yes the county secretary seems to harbour these wishes to become the no no thats not fair well you might have thought it was nice okay is that recommendation agreed agreed agreed thank you item seventeen erm the urban grass cutting contract now this is a very interesting one because we are always under great pressure to increase the number of cuts etcetera have you gotta change this one as well yes er its not my fault though this one right shall we let the county secretary tell us what she wants to change im not the county secretary sorry about that but its just youre representing him yes i do represent him erm mr explained the reason for changing this but basically its to to swap us again and that it will read that for one that for ninety four to ninety eight the standard of grass cutting be seven occasions per year and the county surveyor in consultation with the chairman be authorized to accept tenders from suitable contractors and the contracts be let to commence on the first of march nineteen ninety four and secondly i think the second one is exactly the same as it stands madam chairman right thank you very much mrs right ive got mr no oh ive got oh sorry er ive got mr and then mrs thank you madam chairman i never thought today i would sit here and criticize very severely er grass cutting in borough council and i see their contract is up for renewal next year is about the most disgusting grass cutting you could ever wish to see i think i talk for the whole of when i say this erm the disgusting way that borough council are doing grass cutting there is part of that grass cutting probably due to the fact that our pavements are also covered in grass some of them as much as two foot on either side and youve got two foot down the middle going like that where the grass is growing and has not been cut back since nineteen seventy four er now the county really ought to look at this problem of grass growing over the pavement but the cou borough council are using the shields that are not capable of cutting grass edges grass verges th you drive along a massive machine probably doing more damage getting up and down the kerbs a and everything else they are going along at vast speeds and i say vast speeds theyre twenty miles an hour over the grass and you can imagine how much theyre cutting the also the big rotary blades onem are throwing all the grass over the pavement and all over the road and eventually finishes up all down the drains i would to our officers they should not grant another contract to borough council until they start to use the correct machines for doing the work and i hope that that message now has got across to the cou county surveyor and he really ought to be talking to borough council to find out what theyre doing about it right thank you mr mrs followed by mr erm thank you chairman well erm i entirely agree with most of what mr has said it is absolutely appalling the whole trouble i think started when the districts were formed in nineteen seventy three i think district council to seventy seven but its always been a problem erm first the district did it and erm they didnt want it so then it was decided to have to share it with county and that was a disaster too and they did so many cuts each a year and then county took it over its never got any better erm the only time it was really good in my area was when urban district council did it with a little chap pushing a barrow and cutting the grass and it all looked absolutely beautiful i know its difficult now because population has increased grass verges have increased erm they go round with these machines the grass flies everywhere they never do the edges several contractors have had it and its never been right and eventually a few days or weeks later a man comes round to pick up the grass which has already flown everywhere so its too late and a wa total waste of money erm there obviously isnt enough supervision by the contractors of the people they employ its certainly absolutely dreadful and erm people complain when they come down and say whatevers happened to it used to be such an attractive place but obviously when the grass is knee high it doesnt look very nice for anyone to see i think weve really got to do something about it and hold a proper supervisory and see whats going to go on this year because its it gets worse i personally would like to see the parishes of the towns doing it themselves i dont suppose that is possible now but at least lets have somebody reliable and supervised thank you mrs ive got mr followed by mr yes thank you madam chairman very briefly i wouldve preferred to have seen a contract based on the end performance with the grass being cut to a structured length we always seem to get the wrong sort of weather in three different sorts of machines the playing fields are cut very well no doubt about that its the verges thatre either not cut at all or theyre cut with one of two machines the primo is little bits and the machines that so aptly described they dont come round at the same time so youre always out of phase and it always looks untidy the only grass thats well cut is where people cut it themselves outside their own house but in particular ermth i would like to see the supervision of the contract and that we dont cough up the money unless the jobs done properly because i think were paying for a job thats not being either done at all or when it is being done its not being done well its the quality of service were getting is ab abominable in that area thank you mr this is of course why we we are proposing the trial in which would er give us an end performance grass cutting contract but we dont want to do that right across the county because of the projected cost until we know whether it would work erm ive got mr followed by mr thank you chairman to some extent to a larger extent i agree with what says the grass cutting we get is appalling erm unfortunately erm when you let a contract out youve got certain criteria and a contractor will only do whats specified on their contract unfortunately whether the contract drawn up in the first place has been a correct one or not im not sure i do know that council do pay for two extra cuts over and above what the cou county council have paid for but the question of machinery is a very important issue the person between the parks department and the erm this contract in they are two separate departments and theres no doubt about it the parks department do a very good job why the people who cut the actual grass that people walk on erm i dont know why they dont do that job properly we have asked questions about clearing the grass up afterwards and were told that would probably be two or three times the amount in the contract and in the actual at the end of the day you get what youre paid for you get what you pay for and if you dont provide the resources or you cant provide the resources i should say then obviously youve gotta make do with second best whether we could look at our contract and see if this could be because mentioned about grass on the pavements not only is it the machine thats doing that but theres a danger to young children from the machines theyre using and elderly people with pavements being very very slippery once theyre doing the grass if its raining apart from that treading in peoples houses thank you mr mr well thank you madam chairman theres been a lot of hot air generated over many years about grass cutting standards but its not an idle thought when i say if anybody wants to see where the best grass cutting takes place then they should visit erm ive gotta say that i think the year was nineteen hundred and seventy six when it was the county councils responsibility for cutting the verges not the district county arbitrarily said were not doing it any more thats to save money and the thing fell upon the district councils now even in it took us some some time to get the situation under control but we did eventually get it under control but as i say not without a lot of misgivings and very very strong complaints from the public at large now but in many areas of the county work was put out to contractors finally the th county picked up its responsibility again but the damage had been done and er grass cutting never seems to have recovered in some areas on the that ill just try to describe in a few words erm i welcomed chairman the present experiment before us i hope it succeeds i hope it sets a continuing example to other parts of the county but you only get what you pay for and in in we top it up from the seven cuts to i think thirteen or fourteen but there always remains still one point of complaint by some members of the public that is that the grass thats cut does tend to blow about but if the cutting is frequent theres less grass t to blow about at a given time but if you want the grass swept up as well then i tell you here and now youre getting into cost thats greater than that of cutting the grass thank you mr ive got mr and mr and then im drawing a line mr well department of transport erm say that five cuts per year is enough and and er we we do seven cuts which is a little bit better than that i wouldnt disagree with mr in what he said about the more cuts we have the better it looks and so it stands to reason its a question of cost but i think that he would probably agree and i know hes made comments at various times on this subject about er the grass that is left behind and it is always a problem i think throughout the county erm where grass is cut and then spread around i think a lot of people who suffer from asthma type diseases here do suffer quite severely erm because of this and i think that at some point were probably going to have to to look at it and try and devise a system which which allows us to pick up the grass erm i think probably i would support the recommendation as it stands because i do think that we need to have a trial to see if the end performance and i very very much support the idea of the end performance er in district i think we should carry that out and see see what the results are before we go county wide thank you mr mr thank you madam chairman very quickly i i think the sentiments expressed i i agree with erma bit on the recommendations one theyre seeking approval er that erm the er tenders from are left from march nineteen ninety four to march nineteen ninety eight which seems to me to be quite a long time to let that go if were all a little bit concerned about whats going on erm i think the scheme is is quite right but are we not in in too much changes to the specification thats what its all about id like perhaps to see whether we can tie that up a bit thank you mr i will ask the county surveyor to answer all those points in order yeah perhaps the last point first just to get that one out the way er yes its a requirement for the actual length of the contract on us in the first place but the second point is that in the tender documents weve actually asked all the contractors to price all the different permutations whether its seven cuts eleven cuts hundred millimetres or a hundred and fifty millimetres so having appointed a contractor it would be possible to alter the specification with the prices already tendered for alright so we we have a certain amount of flexibility in there just to make some general points yes i mean its quite clear grass cutting is one of those issues which has been very vexatious over the years and im sure it will continue to be so it will because er in part under compulsory competitive tendering the pricing is driven down to rock bottom and below we pay something like one penny per square metre to cut grass and as someone has already said to an extent you get what you pay for the cost of a if w if the specification included collecting the grass you multiply the cost by a factor of seven now performance specifications are all very well and were gonna try one here and see how it works out you dont necessarily get a better job with a performance spec than you would simply by specifying that you had more cuts because in er in a slow growing year if you like the contractor actually gains because he doesnt need to cut so many times to comply with a maximum of a hundred millimetres length whereas if youve got an eleven level cut you would actually have a continuous length of grass much shorter so it would look smarter so performance specification isnt necessarily better it depends on the weather again we all know what can happen with the weather erm the other thing id like to draw your attention to is para six point one just a little tabulation there because what theyre saying is that on the number of cuts per specification thats what exists now er three hundred and twenty eight thousand thats about the same as this year er if you go to the hundred millimetre cut which is what were suggesting we do on a trial basis the cost to the county council will amount to another hundred and fifty thousand pounds a year so its not chickenfeed when you start to er or maybe it would be chickenfeed so so its a lot of sorry about thater its its a substantial sum of money and obviously we want to look at how the one works incidentally it will cost us about an extra eight thousand pounds just to do the trial in comment on the position there only in so far as the extent of the existing contract which is not due to expire until first of january nineteen ninety five and were not proposing to ask to terminate that it is their own direct labour organization that run it but there will be cost involved i think about eighteen thousand over the course of that year in sustaining that contract rather than replacing it with a new tender can on that madam chairman are you saying youre quite prepared to let them how they cut it youll let it go on for another two years without you doing anything about it not another two years i think that was the first of january ninety five its actually one year and its not a question of doing nothing about it we are er overseeing them as we do with other contractors but it is it is the district and its their own contractor and we hope that they will improve their performance we can terminate it if if we can terminate it at the point the other contractor if it if things really are bad this year right has the additional cost has gone up from six thousand to eight thousand more or is it still six thousand you mentioned eight thousand that was for quoted six thousand sorry beg your pardon slip of the tongue its six thousand thank you very much er can i can i have your agreement for the recommendation then agreed thank you yes of course erm right now item eighteen the report of delegated action erm can i ask you to note those points agreed oh hang on a point mis mr madam chairman if i may just make a comment of concern that information was not on this point was not forthcoming to the county councillors of that area perhaps to make er give them an opportunity to make comment prior to to you so you could make this delegated action as you know doubt are aware of the importance that it is to us in that area of the and the current enquiry thats going on at the moment right erm did we not have a fair amount of discussion about this at the time before not that i can remember at all got a copy of it i havent got it with me no thats the actual paper but i no it comes to us to pass on to you and we passed it to you no thats not the right one no i mean who should she note the point yeah okay we note your concern and well well try to make sure it doesnt happen again can i make the same point as well please you want to make the same point yes yeah alright okay thank you right okay fair enough i i accept that point and i will ensure that we yes sorry just to interrupt for a moment chairman of course the actual initiative to this does come from the district so the primary source of information at consultation should actually be through them before we get asked to approve it as a county councillor rather than a borough councillor on the way perhaps it does thank you can we make a proviso that the delegated action on that a item is in consultation with the local members concerned and i think that will take care of the point right well its already happened so we we cant i i think we can we can look at what we can do about it in the future and whether it is practical to erm consult local members where possible i think thats thats all we can do at the moment and i take your point mr thank you anything else there right well thank you very much for your brevity and we will be able to send out team of experts out to deal with floods after lunch sorry there is no part two because the report will be has been delegated thank you very much biandronno biandronno is acomunein the

it is a kind of semiskilled you know it was always more or less mhm secure and what happened when you came back did you er wait until your kids were that wee bit older or did your family well help you out nigel started a kind of evening shift that you was there with your kids during the day and then your husband got them at night and you come out and worked at nights so it mhm kind of works oh thats well that was mhm and are you from sorry are you from aha aha and so was it do you just travel er the bus its er i stayed up like aha in street at the time you know so it was quite convenient so were there any nowadays you know if theres any opportunities to come back part time if youve got small children no there was nothing like that no i think theres only one girl ive ever part time mhm its started up again mhm we work to my knowledge only one girl mhm erm so do you feel that in the years that youve worked here are women just as important in the factory and make up a large part of the workforce now as they as theyve ever done they do important jobs in the factory well i think actually not as as as many as there were the like in the other years ago but thats to be expected nowadays i would say there were more men in important jobs in here than there is mhm does that ever cause any resentment if theres you know if the a mans a head of a section where theres a lot of women who maybe feel that you could do the job as well no its more petty things thats resented than actual the actual aha job its just petty things that mhm like obsessed girls you know mhm if one gets a better design if one gets bobbins and the other doesnt get the they just scrap you knowscratch one anothers eyes out is there a lot of that oh ye youd actually think they was making their own pay the way they carry on i mean aha youve got to it doesnt matter what job but theres a wee bit resentment among just the girls themselves mhm mhm aye and have you any nicknames for people in the factory oh y we used to have the sisters they retired a fortnight ago called the oh aye there are a few nicknames for them including the sisters anybody else erm they call me doughnut which i detest whys that my names and my sons get called doughnuts so i get called doughnut erm no just to kind of or the wee one or something like this aye mhm mhm or the biggie oh bi aye the big one mm biggie aha mm yeah what else oh do you do anything do you ever keep up with people outside work and have you made any friends that you do things maybe go for a drink or well actually before we come here like back here weve had weekends in belgium mhm and weekends in london and were booked up to go and see cats in january oh weve quite a few and then like there actually spoolings quite good at organizing for er charity mhm and we have nights out and things like this for that mhm oh definitely and what do you do do you just put so much a week in a kitty for that well if were going to be somewhere no we used to actually actually do that like you had nights out maybe christmas and certain times of the year you had a night but thats kind of stopped here no its more like just save ourselves more mhm or less you know there is a girl that collects money if you want to give her it mhm she collects for all the charities and her shes a great organizer terrific she organizes everyone and do you get a lot of er pay offs and things in the factories now you get a few but not our bit its actually more at the picking now where all the young ones are mhm there not many there its just them started mhm like er theres four young ones just out of spooling mhm and what do you do when somebodys er having a pay off do you do her out and the aye the works aha and is that done in the work er no the girls take it home mhm and do the quoting in their spare time mhm theres a lot of work involved in that and do they make up verses and things for it mhm take her round the factory round the factory aye mhm aye its not changed no how about the men do you do anything for the men grease and oil and you name it mhm really mhm there was a big gi big woman once in here at the weaving oh and shes huge and oh she goes for the men she does the works on the men and we leave it all to magda aha what was i oh yes erm do you find that like maybe like one section thinks theyre a wee bit better than another section mhm because of the kind of job theyre doing or the fact that theyre getting a wee bit more pay they do mhm mhm they do and who who thinks theyre best erm spooling i would say department thinks theyre one up on everybody else mhm the cream the cream aha from under the cow and thats where i used to work in but thats the reason i left because i thought actually some of them was getting kind of uppish aha aye this that and the next thing mm mmanything else i was going to ask you i think that was about it was it aye well i mean the social activities you used to have in the old place were th were those any better than over here when we started here it looked er but well only get actually six weeks said youve got six weeks work thats all mhm but its lasted about seven year so you never can organ but once we did start i did enjoy the ones over here because over there when your kids were small you didnt go out much anyway but now that your kids are up youve got it and personally i enjoyed the ones that started but they dont have christmas dance barn dances and things like this they dont org we have to have to organize like that ourself mhm but the work doesnt organize anything like that did those used to be big things mm they used to have like big dances and thin in the grand hall of all placesbut music was once a year things like that but they dont have that now mhm did they used to have clubs and stuffthe oh they have er we can join the cricket clublike er b m k workers pay in so much and they are members of the cricket club mm you can go to that mhm i dont think there was really that many mhm down for that mhm mhm and do you get any perks like do you get any discounts in the town through aha theyll say you get a card like d for the jewellers and things like that mhm jewellers not much mind you but its always helped you dont get any cheap carpets no youre joking youre joking we get our chicken and thats it at christmas you get a chicken at christmas we get a chicken at christmas aha sorry a turkey a turkey a turkey we get that at christmas to take home mhm frozen and youve by the time youve thawed it in forty eight hours its no use for christmas time thats what ive got against it so youve got to actually store it till new year cos you cant you havent got time to thaw it out mhm but thats our perks thats it a turkey is it the fair holidays you get aha aha a fortnight at the fair fortnight at the fair mhm whats your kind of favourite places for going well the last f four year ive been abroad mhm weve been to the canary islands and was er bulgaria last year ive been to yugoslavia mhm oh ayeplaces mhm mhm i like to try a different pace very year to see what its like aha and do a lot of people go abroad now do you think from the factory mhm mhm but you have to work damned hard to all year round to get aha that fortnight i mean its mhm mhm impossible to like if my husband and i didnt work whereabouts does your husband work he works in mhm mhm mhm youve to work and youve to work overtime and you be round the clock mhm mhm youve to work to get that fortnight and do you find that if you didnt have the overtime then you youd be struggling with your wage ochaye because i actually dropped twenty pound coming from the spooling to the job im doing just now mhm dropped twenty pound this actually me on the bottom scale mhm i work at just now but is it a better job do you think no i wouldnt say it was a i would say it was far dirtier and mhm i mean before you used to have your own your own like the job im i was started for ive got sweep all the floor the place where we work mhm ive got to do that twice a day which i didnt know we actually had to do when i started it mhm mhm aye aha i would resent id resent that mhm because im not kidding you see that i mean ive to buy big bags of it mhm mhm aye i object to it and when did you move to that job as i say i didnt i thought the girls was plus that fact it was a lot of concentration for the spooling mhm and with this in this thing now that b m ks in every had got to be spot on mhm and you could easily make a mistake with the work you get all worked up i used to get worked up if i made a mistake i mean i weave and a nervous breakdown spooling no way mhm so i thought then it was time to move mhm but so youre youre quite happy in your job i like it fine except for this brushing i object to all this mess its doing and mhm things like that mhm thats the only thing ive got against it mhm but how do you feel b m k could other factories in the town do you think its a good good factory to work in well basically i see we get less holidays than every other factory mm i mean were not allowed as many holidays as as most of them but then again it was starting up so we just had to take it that way mhm aye its either that or youd no job and mhm do you have a family but i actually think if theres more factories opened up in and thing i think going with the talk a lot of men especially men would would look for jobs elsewhere because you don like in here the men dont get paid if theyre ill i mean mhm you only get like they ge the guys are on get pound a week if theyre ill aye fifteen pound at the most they in other factories they ge for six month men get their full wage mhm well they dont get that in here unless youre higher up the scale like a tenter or something thats things like that aye but down the scale a bit and the the men dont get i feel sorry for them i mean youve kids and everything mhm the likes of us weve got a man behind us but the likes of them i feel sorry for they cannot actually afford to be sick and thats it yeah mhm so do you have a family ive two boys aha and where do where do they work er ones in the works for himself hes brickie and theres one works in the glazer he he used to work in here mhm mhm but he started in the glazer about two months ago mhm do you find thats a a common thing that mothers and fathersll maybe get their kids a job in where they work well i dont think they would actually but my my sons are into to trade you know mhm but it closed down its closed so mhm i just got him in here and then he got into er the glazier mhm so it was better conditions in there mhm mhm i mean he liked his job in here right enough but it was more money and better conditions in the glaziers so aye mhm he bought a flat do he had to go where he was getting aye more money and then again as i say if he was ill he would get his pay for so long mhm mhm its just things like that just you have to weigh up the pros and cons mhm mhm mhm and you feel that youngsters nowadays have maybe less opportunity than you had yourself when you were leaving school och ayei have aye mhm girls its a shame really i also find they didnt need to they dont didnt need to work as hard as the ones years ago mhm they only will stand for the same i dont think theyre going to stand for the same conditions mhm that we used to have to make our own and im not kidding you and was ne was a you know mhm with things like that i think the young ones that way mhm have kind of changed mhm i mean i think were all when theirs were running about but theyre mhm kind of calmer i think the younger ones mhm i think theyre a lot calmer do you think the young the younger generation are too lazy no i mean it not lazy i would say theyre cleverer put it that way aye mhm more common sense than we had mhm mhm so do you ever see the town picking back up again and getting a few more factories in the mm id hope so but i dont think so so look at at one time the and you had er well youve got johnnie walkers but there are not as many works in that either mhm cannot see it no this is what i mean do you think theres theres a kind of widespread feeling that nearly everybody feels like that aye and they feel as though theyve got to stick to the job theyve got especially at our age aye where could we get a job at our age mm so youve just got to mhm its that or nothing mhm and unfortunately the bills comes in just the same as youve got to stick it right thanks very much alright arepa arepa is a food that came from the precolumbian era it is made by using cornmeal and forming the dough into a circle it is known to be eaten in colombia and venezuela it can also have fillings like sliced cheese meat and some vegetables arepas are

alaska well there was men walking through the village erm to stop them for a rest and he had this two bags of sugar you know one that was and he was gonna light his pipe and he threw us and he couldnt get off and it strangled him are there any other stories that you know about stronsay well daddys one day and he up this big flagstone and it was er topping off a grave and didnt ken what to do so he just put the flagstone back and kept on and the next time he went to he and he it up again and he took up the skull and and he kept the backbone to it one of to bring the backbone weve still got it and ive got a photograph of the as well well er there was man walking for the south end of the island to the north end to kept something for his crops so he was taking bucket to get it and so he went the north end and got whatever it was he was wanting and on the way back he stopped at farm to watch so watch them for a while and then he started dancing with them and he dance them all night and he just get in his hand then in the morning he thought hed better be getting back home so he started home and when he got home he discovered it was the harvest time and he started up in the spring and the bucket hed been carrying had left a ridge in his hand and me granny to help me and he was the land nobody could really find that if you came across it one nasty day well youre there and youre kind of stop there if the went away and thats what i like there was this story about er the wife that shared their milk with butter so this other wife tell had to go and steal some milk for the witchs cow and that night steals some milk and er sure enough it did come and then when the witch woken up in the morning and found out that somebody had been milking the cow she said er whoever stealing the milk will never work for six month and er if that day that the wife theres supposed to be a white horse that goes through the square at and er it er supposed to pay this horseman or something but i dont really ken much about it this man came up to and he heard this chains every time he walked thats him come back again and every time he stopped it stopped and this happened a few times and he was very scared and he thought he had better go and see what the noise was and anything well it was just a pet sheep tangled up in its tether and are there people in class four at stronsay school whos been looking at some of the legends heres gary which is the story that youve been hearing about er its called the cave and it was an old woman was sitting knitting in when her wool went through a hole in the floor it was supposed to have gone into a cave that goes right underneath the house well weve come along the island of stronsay now and at er the post office called samsons lane and name which has always fascinated me really and er the subpostmaster in charge here is dennis the post office itself here is called samsons lane that must cause a lot of interest and people must be interested in getting a post mark from here yes we get quite a few inquiries from south and er from enthusiasts that want stamps franking with the samson lane stamp and i suppose over the last twelve month we must have had as many as a dozen of such inquiries wanted their stamp franked what about the name samsons lane what ascertain about its origins its always interested me the name you know as far as i can understand samsons lane is from the school down to samsons farm and probably part of the road down to but certainly not towards the the south end of the island but er i cant say that i know anything more about it actually so theres no clear indication that samson ever lived here in that case then no no far from it oh its no been too bad at all i would say since the first of the new year it seems to be improved remarkably its been fairly blustery the odd day but theres frost and especially the snow that theyve had down further south it seems to be helping us up here i would say and its with the with the land work especially got the slurry and stuff of that kind and what about the the size of the farm of the byre whats the acreage of it oh well er the size of the home place here about ninety three acre and then weve three of that well that place is for byre but thats about sixty acre all added together and on that then er how is the actual work of the farm broken up into acreages for silage or barley or whatever oh well we try and keep all the cows midfifties as far as the cows goes and we run them all home here and then weve got the young cattle off to the two places on the other side of the island and then the third place at just last year its twenty two acre and we put all of that down to barley for er and with the fifty five cows and then we buy in some cattle for byre usually we oh about midsixties or in that direction and er without it we wouldnt have done extra barley especially the winter time to finish them off so its split up more or less like that with a ninety three acre home producing the silage and keeping the cows and forty of the acre keeping the young cattle some hay off of that and then twenty two acre down to barley well well go inside the buildings now and have a look er at some of the cattle indoors here it holds forty four cows its two structure house twinned each side obviously in the centre feed passage and they and thats the wall head seems to work fairly well its easily cleaned out easily fed and the cows come to calf we just put them in the pend and after that once theyre a reasonable size we put them through into a byre and it easier to work the situation once the calves are a a fair size and pass the stage especially would you eventually be having a sloping floor building as well there were concerns about er that type of building at one time but er dya think it is quite suitable for orkney i think it works fairly well enough i cant say i would be just too excited about the prospects of calving goes be a bit kind of sliding each other young calf thats just newly born needless to say he might have a tendency to end up doing what he wouldnt want them doing amongst slurry and such like but i think if you can calf them and then put them onto the floor i think when there are sides that they can feed for themselves more there would be nothing wrong with a floor byre at all really well looking at the individual breeds of animals that weve got here tell us about the basic breed line that you you keep on the farm here well for most we try and work a shorthorn for i think that the shorthorn and the black bull is the true traditional cattle you know maybe and i dont believe for one minute that the the cattle would be any better if you had a lot of limousins or something else and i think that keeping the orkney old fashioned cow is near to that than crossing with continental probably simmental or charolais i think that thats the secret to and cattle and our our broad thats marketable especially down

municipality of the district sissach in the canton of basellandschaft in switzerland prime minister of aruba the prime minister of aruba is de facto head of the executive branch of government together with arubas council of ministers they form the executive branch of aruban government good morning everyone and welcome to pearsons first half results one way or another weve had a pretty busy six months as you know weve decided to concentrate our management and financial resources on our media interests which cover the information education and entertainment markets and in which our spread of businesses including books newspapers family attractions and television are well placed for future growth in june we acquired thames television with its valuable programme rights distribution business and production capability and we have a crack at star t v the plans we announced on twenty seventh july to demerge doulton and float camco are already underway until such time as they leave the group figures from these two businesses obviously continue to form part of our accounts im pleased to say that in the course of the last six months weve seen a strong recovery in profits so lets now look at the results overall our nineteen ninety three first half pretax profits stand at forty six million for all our businesses including doulton and camco thats nearly twelve million better than for nineteen ninety two and reflects its satisfying improvement in underlying performance sales were up by nineteen percent and theres also firm evidence in these results of margin improvements which reflect for the first time the full benefit of our cost cutting measures taken over the last three years weve become better at making money in sluggish trading conditions and are making the most of the patchy recovery weve seen in some of our markets our overall operating profit has increased by some seventy percent over the same period last year the difference between operating profit and profit before tax is of course made up of interest on nonoperating items james will cover er this area in more detail later in the presentation earnings per share are up er more than forty percent over the same period last year and when the e p s is adjusted to take account of the nonoperating items the figure has increased by nearly ninety percent we said on twenty seventh july that we planned to pay an unchanged dividend for the full year accordingly the board has declared an unchanged interim dividend of five point three seven five p per share altogether then er an encouraging set of results and ill hand you over to frank to take us through them in more detail good morning everyone well as you can see from that slide a much better first half with four of our four out of six of our businesses getting brownie points especially newspapers and the merchant banking and there are good reasons why the other two are as they are and ill explain that in due course so ill start with the book businesses book sales show a a nice increase in er in sales revenue especially in the u k which is up seventeen percent overall penguin u k is gaining sale and market share and in north america the sales are only slightly down on last year which was a very exceptional year anyway longman did particularly well in the u k although coeternal markets were difficult and er sales in the schools markets in er north america was hard going for addison wesley with u s physical problems restricting theamou money that schools had to er had to use but we did particularly well in colleges moving to profits for the book companies these are slightly down but this isnt indicative of a full year and the general outlook is er is good the penguin profits pattern followed the sales pattern that is to say an increase in the u k more than offsetting er a decline in the u s longman had a very very er very good increase in profits and the addison wesley loss which is bigger in the first half than usual er isnt something that bothers me particularly im really quite relaxed about full year performance but just to make sure theyre er attacking erm expenses travel administration that kind but nothing in the erm book investment programme newspapers apart from les echo erm advertisement volumes were pretty flat les echo managed a nice increase in financial advertising but elsewhere volumes were flat erm and so the revenue increased has depended on er rate increases changes in the mix or circulation revenue with a mixture of cover price increases and some increases in circulation profits are well up cost reduction obviously played a major part in this and the f t group is er fifty five percent up on last year and this is against the background of a five percent drop in advertisement volume and we have an eleven percent drop in advertisement volume from the continent of europe erm which of course doesnt affect other national newspapers the economist and les echo both recorded record circulations once again and recolleters thats our partnership in spain as you will recall er their profits continued to buck the trends in a very tough market the westminster press cost budget is now adjusted and theyre currently trading at a nine percent margin which would be ten percent if it wasnt for the er expenditure on er yorkshire on sunday er the circulation of which is growing very nicely er and i expect that margin to continue rising and be much higher again next year so the medicine is working there entertainment we divide our entertainment into two parts television and attractions so starting with television we said at the er announcement of the doulton camco demerger that we intended to develop further in the visual media and so we are setting up a t d t v division in which well place all of our t v interests at present just thames the investment in b sky b and er yorkshire tyne tees but watch this space we e we intend to add to this er division now obviously im not going to talk about profits from the t v division just now because thames only came in at the half year and were not including any profits from b sky b in the half year but its likely that well take some deloan stock interest in at the year end attractions theyve produced a very commendable rise in revenue and profits er from the tussaud group although as you will recall most of the profits in the group come in july and august but despite the recession there was an exceptional increase in attendances marylebone road was up by eight point two percent rock circus attendances were up by twenty eight percent and chessington twenty one percent even at white castle and alton towers both of which recorded record attendances last year they were up by fourteen percent and sixteen percent respectively and we achieved an increase in the spend per head so the tussaud group is a real tale of success lets now turn to the nonmedia businesses starting with camco the newly appointed chief executive er has been very very active and has made a great impact already even the products division which has been a long time drag on profitability improved its performance and was well up too the overall excellent improvement in first half performance is masked by a technical transfer last year which of course isnt repeated this year and this year a provision of formerly in pounds following the settlement of a civil antitrust suit er i make a point of never saying i told you so but we did expect the upturn to come because fundamentally stru er camco is a strong business fine china sales have improved but the profit hasnt and this needs some explanation weve been incurring costs on two fronts redundancy and also reducing factory stocks short time working and this has brought down margins and profits but the cash flows improving and despite poor conditions in europe and japan er volume and unit value of orders is er increasing slowly that brings us to investment banking and ill leave you here since er james our james financial directors the director of lazzards and hes gonna go through the pearson financials he er he will cope with lazzards at the same time so james over to you thank you frank well its been a good half year for investment banking just to remind you er we have a fifty percent interest in lazzard brothers and a ten percent interest in the new york and paris partnerships in new york er most of you will be well aware that the i p o and market remains extraordinarily healthy and there have been therefore er excellent opportunities for securities profits and erm therefore new york had its best first half ever i i in london theres been a good improvement across the board a much healthier corporate finance climate and lazzards has er been pretty prominent in the rights issues in the first half of the year if we then go back to er look at the profits as a whole there are just three items id like to comment on the corporate expenses as other income er has obviously had a dramatic improvement this reflects effectively the sale of another of our shares in cedar fayre the profit on sale of fixed assets comes right down as you again er i think all know weve had the benefit of our last of shares and were actually rather pleasantly surprised that we were able to er sell some land at lakeside to costco which is why we have some profit of three million er for the first half of ninety three change in the interest charge reflects no more than the impact of the stronger dollar on our u s dollar interest costs going on down er the profit and loss account the tax charge er is lower as a percentage than it was this time last year this time last year we actually were a little too conservative we normally try and estimate the full year tax charge and then apply it to six months and we got it wrong further point has helped er keep the tax charge well down in ninety three is that the there is no tax on the nonoperating items theyre tax free effectively whereas that wasnt true a year ago as a result adjusted earnings are up very helpfully as you can see if i can turn to the balance sheet its a little more complicated were in a rather odd position at the thirtieth of june of incorporating the thames er balance sheet because our offer went unconditional we havent paid for it and therefore er we er you see a rather large item for provisions and minorities that includes the ninety nine million consideration that er went out of the door in july as well of course as the substantial provisions that thames made in their own accounts for their property leases and for er potential losses on the disposal of reeves their west coast u s production company they erm the thames investment in astra is er another reason for in fact the principal reason for the increase in associates and investments working capital is a simple a seasonal outflow which has been again by the stronger dollar and the reduction in shareholders funds compared with the thirty first of december er reflects the eighty six million pound good will write off on thames net debt as you can see er from the next slide and indeed it was in the balance sheet er it was a hundred and seventy million against a hundred and eighty five on thirtieth of june erm that isnt an entirely accurate reflection on our performance er there are two factors er weve flattened the one hand by the inclusion of thamesown cash of twenty seven million but on a year and year comparison the erm the dollar the sterling value of our dollar debt was fifty two million pounds higher so in fact we have reduced net debt on at an operating level year on year the other feature i think of the debt thats worth drawing your attention to is a sharp shift towards variable debt compared to a year ago a number of our swaps have matured weve put one new one in er some of our medium term notes have matured in the in the states and were at last in a position to take more advantage of er lower short term variable interest rates than we were with that ill hand you back to michael wed now like to take questions erm i was wondering if youd perhaps like to tell us how youre going to manage your er your well i think frank mentioned er that we were forming a t v division and i think frank you might like to say more well well well set that up with a board of its own erm as an operating board and each of our divisions has an operating board erm and that means it will have a finance director it will have and it will have a chief executive er and therell be one or two other people on that board such as er mark development director er and er well go from there can you give some idea as to what the er can you give some idea as to what the underlying sales growth was in the first half youve got the nineteen percent and as the statement says there was some degree of benefit from currency what was the underlying james can you give that accurate absolutely sales er of their hundred and thirty million increase in sales erm seventy seven million exchange fifty two million er underlying yes could you break down the profit of the f t group between les echo and and the f t in the u k i dont think we normally do that i think in broad terms we can say that er les echo comparatively did better than the f t but yes er the f the f t er did improve er les echo improvedrecolleters improved the economist was slightly down on last year but remember the economist were at record profits last year and erm so even maintaining their their profits or just dropping is a good performance and again i wouldnt regard that as indicative of a full year yes can you erm quantify what costs were taken above the line in the first half in terms of redundancy costs restructuring costsin the presentation to some restructuring again in the fine china division and how that compared to last year redundancy costs for the first half of three point two million nought point seven million less than ninety two yep for the group is there expectations that there will be any more redundancy costs in the second half frank erm yes there could there could well be more redundancy in the second half er declining but there could still be a little er overall you know were constantly looking where for reducing staffing levels and where we see opportunity of that we do it er and that usually involves redundancy so we dont regard it as ever static but er the major push on redundancies is over you have in the past actually erm how much you think youve lowered your cost basis by over over a period hmm a period of two and a half three years now can you quantify that again erm i couldnt answer that off the top of my head but well erm ill let you have the information ill write to you and give you the information yes just just so that we can erm make sure for the cabaret committee you havent given yourself enormous pay rises in the first half can you can you split out in the corporate expenses less other what the er er profit on the sale of some of your cedar fayre investment was yes thats fine its its effective of the whole of the increase erm let me just erm of the of the change the five million change its its in accounts for over four and there is small odds and ends changes otherwise a very modest increase in underlying costs i assure you how many shares have you got left in cedar fayre david erm we have about four and a half percent to five percent of the company left erm could you give us some idea as to what the level of the accrue er fees on loans guarantees and and so forth on the erm james so what were gonna be taking in and when what youre owed ya well i havent got the yes the backlog is very substantial er in terms of things like guaranteed fees and erm nonstock interest but its a long way out er i mean if we add it all up you might be far too impressed by the figure but i think erm we know thats the right way of looking at it what weve got is as you know theres a hierarchy of repayment er starting with the deloan stock interest which is the the last funding and then theres the maiden dividend and then theres guarantee fees and then theres erm sorry before that is senior loan stock interest from b s b h and then guarantee fees so they kick in at different stages what we think as as frank said erm our policy is to accrue erm income which we think well get in cash terms the following year ie were not gonna accrue it as soon as b sky b expenses it which is one end of the spectrum of erm imprudence you could say or and the other end extreme prudence is to account for nothing until its cleared er in the bank balance we we now think its appropriate to strike a medium balance therefore well get the deloan stock interest up to ninety three well take in in this year which we expect to get next year and how much of the cash received i mean theres something you still owe to er to reed to reed erm right who knows the terms of the reed mark do we know that one not off the top of my head what were paying them on were certainly paying i i i think its capital receipts is it off is it only the capital receipts on the interest they had a lot of capital payments also and we have as it were the erm the p o element er with b sky b which is the erm the items ive gone through then you have a number of loan repayments and youre quite right there is a there is a ma an amount will be paid to reed equivalent to i e were not gonna pay them the interest for the capital receipts but when amount we receive money were paying it on that means we will still refracting it in our p o account but the cash flow terms will be neutral and i think a significant point is that for the first time in ninety three we were likely to take something in in relation to b sky b yes well actually nigel was ha was first same thing right it follows on from that question it comes youve got a line b sky b er youve got a line b sky b in the t v er division so it presumably that loan interest is coming in that division is that right rather than net if off against interest im afraid were not allowed to er neil er i think for management purposes and for presentation purposes we will erm presentation but certainly in terms of our accounts erm we have no option but to exempt the giving interest receivable but to erm impress you with the modesty of our of our interest and therefore how good our interest cover is maybe thats thats erm thats what the erm thats what coopers and the accounted principles require that although its erm in our mind and yours identify with a specific investment just following following on from that the er thames er investment how is that doing and have you sold reeves yet thanks er well thames is doing rather well you you im sure you read about the twenty two million pound deal with er b b c and er and there are there are other deals in the offing erreeves has been sold er and so erm the cost of that has been er crystallized now and so thats no longer a problem and the pr were er i would expect the profits of thames to be in line with that that we expected when we acquired the business yes can you tell us a bit more about addison wesley and why you feel relaxed with that addis er addison wesley and why were relaxed addison well er its a very well managed business its a very good business er there are only two businesses in the u s a have higher sales per head than addison wesley and one of those is and its had a thats had a super time in maths and theres only one business and thats which earns more profit per employee then er addison wesley and erm again thats and that reflects that one off maths programme erm and were doing very well in college so er and the chief executive there would er i think commit suicide if he if he brought in less profits than the year before so im quite relaxed and theyre attacking the costs as well that is not a forecast when will when will these constraints be relaxed well thats thats an mr clinton or mrs clinton im not sure unpredictable yes can you just say a little bit more about erm the structure of the the t v board will you be looking to make any external appointments to fill those positions er and secondly following on from that erm as you said you you had a look at star t v and came off empty handed do you still have interests in in that part of the world with regards to broadcast er ill answer the second part of the the question ill hand the first one over to frank er yes we do er our overall television strategy has been to establish er a u k base where we are restricted because of the newspaper ownership in most cases other than b sky b to twenty percent though the rules may change and our strategy is to develop er overseas both in erm er broadcasting and and and in programming er as we can make the opportunities available there are opportunities out there and people tend to think of or sometimes think of deals as being unique deals and theyre unique in themselves but there are always other unique deals that can be found yes er richard will be on that board and er and we also accept expect erm further outside appointments appointment anyway and possibly appointments yes i suppose one wonders whether the financial times feels un uneasy about the proposed reduction in the price of the er of the times as as no doubt the independent probably the the telegraph well i was discussing that with frank last night and he actually pointed out that it might help the sales of the financial times because er er the f ts very often bought as a second newspaper and if you get your first newspaper cheap youve got more change in your pocket actually the financial times it comes in a completely different position to erm the independent and and and the guardian and even the telegraph to start with its a specialist newspaper and secondly erm the the f t is is profitable and erm even if even in a great recession and erm the other element is we every year increase our overseas sales six percent erm specialist newspapers i really dont expect the times erm to have any effect on the f ts sale could you just on that remind us what the current what the cover price is as a percentage of revenues in the f t roughly eighty twenty i mean it obviously it varies according to whether its whether advertisings booming but in in overall over time it can work on twenty percent on the revenue coming from the cover price and about eighty percent coming from er from advertisements and so its its its not a major major figure incidentally im not surprised the er the times is reducing its price i think its about right now i think thats a re terrible comment yes sir can you give us an idea of the growth within the electronic business in the f t in erterms they er theyre growing very well erm profitably profitability isnt isnt as good we weve been growing something like er twenty five percent per annum i think this year speaking from memory it was something like fifteen sixteen percent er increase this year erm but er were getting to the stage now where its its getting into profit and so were quite pleased with the growth there are you still developing your presence in japan yes yes we erm were obviously in japan and erm and increasing the sales slowly there but its a very good market for us very good advertisement market er for us and er i think ive told you before even before before the recession it started it looked as if we would recoup the extra spending in the first year sad to say the recession overtook that but its its developing strongly again there now its not costing you money its costing us a bit of money but er you know we dont do these things for the short term er whats a bit a million a year or er well the extra costs was two million a year er and at the end of the first six months in the first year wed wed wed achieved a million extra revenue so it looks as if weve paid for it but its probably costing us about er three quarters of a million to a million just now net youve shown that youve moved erm substantially towards variable debt but there is obviously an outburst currency impact you said in the first half how is your debt your gross debt currently constituted and where is your cash held cash is overwhelmingly in sterling erm can i just look up and remind my erm refresh me on that the erm the gross borrowings the dollar is the overwhelming element in in terms of we have about erm two hundred and thirty five million of sterling debt two bond issues and some old loan stocks and then the rest of it thats gross debt and and some of that swaps you know all the almost all are sterling except a little bit of of camco cash which is in u s dollars is in sterling and then erm we have really a similar amount of u s dollar debt and small amounts of canadian and french franc peseta and ozzie dollar where we really gear simple finance small investments in those countries under a hundred percent we have offices now we have erm a genuine french franc exposure to les echo but apart from that we dont really bother is it possible to tell us how your advertising revenue performed in the first half on your westminster press and f t and whether youve experienced any improvements in sits vac advertising since the end of the first half yes it is and ill hand it to frank advertisement er revenue at westminster press ended the six months at about the advert revenue about the same level as last year but it was below last years level early on so in other words erm advertisement volume is growing because theres next to no theres the yield is about the same overall erm so volume has been gradually growing as the year progresses and erm and more so in the last erm the last say six weeks of the er of the half year so i would expect that to continue and expect erm revenue to get ahead of last year erm as i said f t volumes are flat but er they they they did achieve an increase in the yield erm but forward bookings are much better at the f t and october looks rather better so i think advertisement volumes are are on the increase situations vacant in westminster press there was an increase in the south er in volume terms in the southern divisions not in the northern divisions but then the northern divisions didnt experience the same problems with sits vac and are much more profitable i mean northern echo at darlington bradford york kendal theyre all very profitable businesses er and so theyre but they havent had any increase in sits in sits vac where and financial times has had some increase in in sits vac too which is a high yielding er category of course the the deal of lazzards of new york erm comes in the second half i presume and does the b m p er flotation commence also in the second half i think that remains to be seen i mean just a bit more about camco second half is given these little plus and minuses youve had in the first first half whats coming in the second well erm its difficult to make forecasts particularly with the s e c breathing down ones neck but i think one can say that the industry conditions if you were to read the reports of other companies and for us is pretty much erm status quo in other words the domestic excuse me domestic industrys doing quite well the rig the rig counts up the canadian rig counts up international markets remain rather soggy but some of them are qui you know on a on a selective basis some are quite good for example the erm frank referred to doing quite well and some of that was due to sales into the former soviet union erm the erm the erm the erm er settlement of the anti tr civil anti trust law suit that was referred to in the statement was erm costs of about six million dollars this year on a class action law suit which we have reached a tentative settlement on in the last few days and in fact there were some there was about six to seven million dollars of additional provision made at the end of last year in the one time charges that we referred to at that time but couldnt really identify with erm lawyers breathing down your necks in the united states and er this is a class action law suit would have been in a texas court and erm you know the boiler plate language is that you want to get rid of the you know the expense and uncertainty of this type of litigation and if you think that what a texas jury did to texaco its probably a prudent decision to close the matter off at this time is it a recent provision order that well theyre making a new one its a combination of costs incurred this year plus provision to cover erm the costs of the settlement legal expenses and other allied and other related items with with regards to camcos eastern european sales drive does this have any er implications in terms of er working capital movements in terms of helping them fund those acquisitions and what sort of er provisions perhaps are you taking on those sales erm im not sure i quite understand the question well in terms of er bad debt erm we gen gen generally speaking sales into places like the former soviet union and other parts of the world are done against letters of credit so generally speaking there are not erm bad debt problems you know one or two inci one or two isolated incidents but overall erm the erm business in the oil service industry is done on on erm er a letter of credit terms er how did the entertainment businesses do in july and august frank they they did very well good attendances and alton towers particularly is erm is is er booming doing very strong business and also has one or two promotionals er promotional activities which should er extend the se extend that er later in the season so its going well erm i seem to remember that when we met earlier in the year and you were looking forward to to to this year as a whole i think you er indicated that it was going to be a good year and i think you also suggested if i remember right that you thought the better part of that improvement would be seen in the second half rather than the first i wonder if i got it right and i remember it correctly whether thats still the view well i think that i bore people endlessly by saying that erm the first half results are not an indication of the year as a whole because we make the bulk of our pro profits in the second half and you know that remains that remains true i think at the time of the er of the a g m i said we were pleased by the prospects and in the current statement i say the outlook continues promising but i dont think at any point weve made more of a forecast than that are you gonna repeat the miracle of the first half and sen sell some more land in thurrock in the second half ill turn that to mark cos im not on the thurrock committee i i think i would be unwise too to make a forecast so all all i can say is there are some enquiries around of er people who appear to be interested but erm er you know the burden hangs quite a lot you know the burdens still the is quite a long way away still but its not impossible we could sell some more land youve got youve got the cash from costco havent you yes yeah yes yes er sorry just to follow up on b sky b again are you gonna be accruing for any arrears in the interest er in the second half as well as the ongoing amount yes yes well get well get the ninety two and ninety three erm interest for in ninety in the second half so what you would have had for the whole of ninety two and the whole of ninety three will all come in will all come in the second half of ninety three right thanks yeah on the on the de on the deloan stock yes would it be helpful to give some order of magnitude here james yes chairman less less than ten million yes brilliant management well one of the reasons it er bucked the trend was because is this les echo yeah one of the reasons it bucked the trend was because weve erm ground one of our competitors into the dust and hes had to combine with another newspaper there and that too is struggling incidently its just had a change of ownership erm a wellfinanced new owner but were were still confident of our position there no no he actually got erm erm a nice increase in in fin in financial advertising i dont want to give you the impression its buoyant there it isnt could you say anything about your extension plans i mean have they changed much or what might they do in tokyo not much well probably about sixty million for for the year id say or a bit more they always they always lag as you know our our we always underspend capital in the first half against what our division think theyre gonna do and they always think theyre gonna catch it up in the second half they never do but erm it wont be you know it wont be materially different well i think the budgets ninety in the nineties but we dont expect to spend more than sixty million yeah we wont spend that much somewhere in between lets say your royal doulton you might have some idea of how the er different brands are doing you mentioned in the annual report and accounts that expressions was meant to be doing very well although its more up market brands were slightly more sluggish er can the future chairman answer that i havent got the detailed figures er er with me but er i believe that still is the case that er er peoples eating habits are er that dining habits as it were er are changing somewhat and the er the everyday china market is is possibly more buoyant than the er erm the royal crown and minton would you make any conscious decision to move slightly down market or less up market i myself wouldnt use that phrase i think that er er what i would say is that er we would follow the markets erm where they lead us and the answers yes the fine chinas er doing er quite well in in japan actually and thats starting to pick up again any shall i say a couple more questions if anybodys got one no no more questions well thank you very much indeed

tonight business angels the private investors whove made millions by backing risk and innovation in partnership with britains small entrepreneurs i think i do it because im so depressed by the poor performance of professional investment managers in the city and i hope i can do better than they can then challenge from the north why tough talking yorkshire lawyers believe they can take the citys cosy legal world by storm and in notebook popular at home but not abroad can the british television industry export more there are some unusual partnerships being struck throughout the length and breadth of the country the success of these new relationships could affect britains future prosperity we have come together to witness the marriage of business angel david pounds sterling and small business some observers believe their potential is enormous david pound sterling will you take to be your wife as a way of life of course ceremonies like this arent real but the rational behind them is rich investors eyeing up prospective business opportunities are being helped byu matchmaking agencies theyve been specially set up to try and ensure a more secure future for britains small companies there are a growing number of private investors known as business angels and small businesses they say the relationship is just like a marriage now everyone the government the bank of england the c b i and others are investigating business angels as one alternative way of funding small companies the upsurge in interest in how small businesses are funded reflects growing concern that theyve been let down by the banks and the realization that they are the most significant source of employment as the country struggles to emerge from the recession this company began searching for finance four years ago colin came up with the idea for an environmental action cartoon for childrens television they spent four hundred thousand pounds a further quarter of a million is needed if the company is to survive colin feels the traditional financiers cant see the future potential of the environment concept i mean were a typical case we believe we have something that is wonderfully innovative and capable of succeeding financially in a global market place it was very difficult to get the venture capitalists and the bankers to take it seriously i think thats a a lamentable state of affairs and their children and their childrens children are going to have to pay the price for the shortsightedness thats going on now in the ivory towers of the of the city the the banking institutions and the financial institutions of the country the cartoonists are veterans of the presentation circuit is just one of band of companies around the country presenting their business plans to private investors here in cheshire business men are nervously waiting to meet the business angels is whom hands the future of their company might rest theyre coached by experts from one of five government sponsored projects around britain advise small businesses and link them up with private investors youre different youre dynamic let it come across a bit more about you and you know what a good team you are and youve cracked it try and relax a bit you know have a drink at lunchtime even and just let it come out a bit more arriving as ostentatiously as youd expect from the seriously wealthy business angels pump money into private companies in return for shares angels already invest between two and four billion pounds in britains small businesses the potential could be up top three times as much hi ron howre you doing im okay look big the directors have developed a comic routine to hammer home their message property development scheme that im involved with i think you should look at it well thats interesting but theres a couple of ideas id like to run in front of you fire away old boy seeing as its you what do you know about the music industry no high risk no money in music colin i got this great group super song just listen to these lyrics she loves you yeah yeah yeah she loves you yeah yeah yeah with a love like that you know it cant be bad what do you think of it ron no definitely not thatll never sell whoever wrote the lyrics to that should be locked up for an affront to the english language for companies like pitching to investors has become virtually a full time job thats better thank you ladies and gentlemen for i hope what was a little bit of humour in this long afternoon er to make a very serious point weve been developing they know their survival depends on how well they impress after a long day of presentations the angels and the businessmen finally get together in the traditional way after all the hard work the businesses put in were the angels impressed well we had eight different presentations er i warmed i suppose to two of them erm was a small engineering company in the motor trade which while it will never make a fortune will probably make a living and the people seem to need help the angels are drawn from all sections of the community some are oxbridge educated former merchant bankers others came up from the shop floor but they all have some things in common they like making money they like being involved in business and they love a challenge im a manufacturer i like to make things i like to hold something at the end of day and say thats something thats been created er at the same time im looking for the chemistry er the feel for those people er the quality of those people and whether i could work with them and whether they could work with me how britains small businesses are funded was discussed at a recent national conference of the institute of directors its director general peter believes that they are vital to britains prosperity and employment prospects there are three million companies in britain of which only a thousand employ more than a thousand employees we all know that job creation comes form the small and medium company sector it is perhaps not totally coincidental that there are three million unemployed and three million companies and er you could do the arithmetic about what would happen if every company took on one person some thing has to be the i o d surveyed three hundred small companies the results exclusively revealed to the money programme show a severe funding shortage for business start ups problems too for companies expanding theres a lack of funding for schemes between fifty and two hundred and fifty thousand pounds or even half a million people sometimes think that capitalism means stock markets and and and and share holders and what have you but the most pure expression of capital capitalism is the the harnessing of private money to start private businesses and a main concern of the institute of course is that there is such a shortage potentially of capital in the system to do that this tranquil country scene is close to the cotswold home of sir john a harvards business graduate hes one of britains most successful business angels twelve years ago he invested twenty three thousand pounds in a small local company its now worth two and a half million the company sir john bought a fifty percent share in was its an engineering firm that produces mechanical devices that help to clear storage silos in its first year turnover was a modest forty thousand pounds its now twelve million but the success story might never have happened if the entrepreneur with the idea ivan had taken the advice of his bank yeah did a little business plan cash flow forecasts and all that kind of stuff er basic but erm in hindsight still quite presentable i th i think and i took it to my bank manager who id been with for god knows all my life so nearly twenty years and er he just laughed me straight out of the room straight off d don b dont be silly go and get a job you know er h he didnt even look at it what do you feel about banks do you think they know enough about business when it comes down to it oh i hope my bank manager isnt watching this no i think they know nothing at all about business i think they erm kid themselves on that they do because they understand figures and money and that isnt business is this an are where you agree er sir john or not not yes i i do i think the banks big mistake is their obsession with security cover erm and i think they ought to develop some expertise in judgement of peoples management and entrepreneurial abilities and in recognizing the potential of a good business the midland bank is one of britains biggest in the eighties banks fell over themselves to lend money last year bad debts cost a million pounds a day midlands chief executive brain acknowledges the problem we are risk averse at the moment because we have suffered as you rightly say er so much from bad debts during the recession er but in certainly in the case of our bank er we are most anxious to at least get people in through the door and see if we can find solutions to their problems find ways of er developing smaller businesses erm hopefully to reduce the massive unemployment figure that we have in this country a restaurant in fashionable mayfair is everything alright its absolutely excellent a public relations company is entertaining its clients theres an old saying that theres not such thing as a free lunch but this is about as close as you can get no money changes hands here but theres still a bill to be settle thank you very much sir did you enjoy your meal it was absolutely excellent the company pays using a barter card its an updated version of the ancient trade of swapping goods this is where that trade is organized the barter exchange in central london erm weve got various requests for mobile phones we need a restaurant for erm a working breakfast zurich flights to zurich yes weve got er erm eight economy flights were after four colour printers the organize the exchange of goods many companies have spare capacity bartering enables them to swap it for other things they need without paying easing cash flow problems facing companies financed by bank overdraft this is a problem that the institute of directors has outlined in its survey seventy one percent of companies go directly to banks as there first source of financed but what concerns the i o d is the type of funding the get sixty four percent of small businesses are on either overdrafts or short term loans that says the i o d makes them vulnerable to economic down turns the key issue that emerges is that many private companies dont actually want what they ought to have which is more long term loans and more private equity and less overdrafts and their short term loans i i think to an extent the bank have in helped small businesses to make this mistake it has been much easier to give an overdraft than to go through the whole process of studying a plan for the business and coming up with longer term loan financing okay steve can you talk me through the part of manchester visit in the afternoon the government is so concerned about the financing of small businesses that anthony economic secretary to the treasury is in charge of a working party examining the issue hes concerned that banking attitudes may be holding up the recovery i do believe that one of the best ways were going to benefit from the new circumstances i hope of economic stability of low inflation and low taxation will be to ensure that the provision of capital is made by the principle institutions namely the banks and the investing institutions so i expect to see er improvements in confidence backed by greater provision and i like to see that directed at the venture capital risk capital long term capital rather than the in and out sort of capital which i think is reflected so much by overdraft financing this man john is the managing director of reading based electronics firm hes got good reason to thank the midland bank now he makes a point of keeping in touch with his local branch were concentrating on the security market place and weve acquired i think three when his company was in trouble the bank swapped his debt for shares we are quite keen to look at equity options debt equity swaps er perhaps talk a to the government about an extension of the business expansion scheme specifically into manufacturing industry er and generally look for innovative solutions persuade to customers to take loans out instead of overdrafts er fix their interest rates over a longer term period thats not always attractive cos initially thats more expensive for them but er they ha they have to er come to us with an open mind as well back at the board of directors are meeting for sir john and ivan bank funding isnt on the agenda but sir john is as interested in how the companys money is spent as any bank manager why are you using an agency rather than advertising in name cos youve got to pay the agent a fee for finding it for you as both company chairman and business angel sir john plays an active role he and ivan are equal partners the fifty percent share holding has worked well because what it means no one person can impose their will no one has control you have to resolve problems by agreement resolve disagreements without coming to blows angels dont always work miracles this deserted farm house was where mike n hoped to build a successful cider business revisiting it for the first time he recalls his high hopes when an angel with marketing skills appeared but mike was forced to sell out when the angel wasnt up to the job even though we had explained to him in a small business initially he was going to be the salesman he was going to be the marketing director he was going to be everything it still hadnt really filtered through to him until he was actually on the ground working and he just really couldnt cope with that the business that mike began has now transferred to new premises it no longer makes cider but apple juice the new owner is lawrence he shares mikes reservations about business angels a business relies on a driving personality taking it forward and the confusion about getting somebody on board who is working with you in the business and who is putting money board is that they feel to some extent proprietorial to that business and you can find that that will result in those individuals who have done that tearing apart the business because they are trying to go in different directions at the moment there are a number of publications such as link capital exchange venture capital report which try to put investors and companies in touch with each other the government and the banks are considering setting up a national data system of business angels it would probably have to be government funded who who are your the organization with the longest track record in matching angels to companies is the publisher of venture capital report b c r executive hamish is sceptical about the bankssudden endorsement of angels in terms of their they the core business they are reliant on on on medium size businesses so they need to ensure that in the future that there will be businesses there er t er to be their clients so i think er its a sort of enlightened self interest and er as theyre not in the business of providing risk capital they have to find er some poor mug or opportunist to do so and i think this is why increased attention is being focused on on business angels as a source are the banks simply though trying to shift responsibility so you think erm i i i think that the the sceptic in me would would say that they are trying to abnegate a certain amount of of responsibility i think their is a problem with the first two or three years of a businesslife its the most difficult time its full of frustrations theyre growing er they need finance that they havent quite thought about there are surprises during that period so there undoubtedly a temptation to think well lets not bother about that lets pick them up when they are two years old and theyve survived this particularly hazardous first period but in my view thats quite nonsensical what we ha if we dont support them during that period how on earth do we get them to be two years old barclays bank has carried out its own research into small business david says funding problems have been over emphasized the real issue he says is skills well our research has shown that something like eighty percent of all small businesss dont undertake any formal training within their first three years of operation and more than sixty percent do not do any formal business planning or look further ahead than one month from today the effect is that the survival rate of small businesses is significantly adversely affected by this nobodys called in okay mike now travels the country as a consultant to small companies the lessons hes learnt he did so the hard way he agrees that skills inside small companies have to improve the man is very good at making widgets he makes widgets but he doesnt tell his bank that hes doing well the bank automatically thinks hes doing badly because they dont hear anything from him so its a matter of keeping the bank advised the whole time perhaps mike business would have survived with a tax incentive to put money in the idea appeals to his clients research by barclays bank suggest companies do favour tax breaks one idea that were quite attracted to er would be the formation of a business tessa this could operate rather like a personal tessa and would be a er tax free savings account which would allow a small business to save for a perhaps a major piece of machinery in a tax free environment the i o d also believe that there must be tax incentives to invest in britains small businesses but theyd like to see them extended to include the general public we can all go and invest in peps we can all go and invest in pension plans and all of that gets taken by the institutions and put into the stock market what we need is is equal incentives to take our money and put that money into private companies so i we would like to see erm tax incentives for investment in the equity of unquoted companies and wed also like to see gains tax incentives for the realization of those investments a when when they pay it off but tax breaks are outside the remit of the governments working party not surprising considering governments fifty billion pound public borrowing requirement if youre urging the case for tax breaks again then i think thats all too easy and tha that is not what i am advertising or seeking representations for of course there will be calls for that i want to look much more generally at the supply side at the provision of capital the liquidity of capital this is much more about the structural provision of finance it is about the understanding by financial institution of the businesses they back i think youll like this place actually er whilst theres a lot of talk about how to help small businesses the angels and their advisors are out there doing it this company of ex roll royce workers has had five offers of finance and is in the enviable position of choosing the partner that suits them on the back of their expected thirty thousand pound cash injection theyve already taken on extra staff for this successful local experiment to have national implications there has to be a fundamental shift in attitudes the small companies themselves have got to understand what they need to grow is long term financing and thats cash in the business for the finance community what theyve got to do too is take a longer term view about projects and give the companies an opportunity to to grow and ride the pitfalls and the the peaks and troughs if the marriage between small businesses and financiers is to have a happy ending the couple need more than a guiding hand from a few enthusiasts dedicated to their cause the business angels cant do it all themselves they need the support of the government the banks too must get involved and everyone needs to work together because if the marriage proves to be a barren one it will affect the wealth of the nation for generations to come st ives uk parliament constituency st ives is a constituency of the united kingdom it is in the county of cornwall in

bribery bribery means offering something such as money to a person in return for some favour which is bad in some way the money that is offered is called a bribe and the verb is to bribe active bribery is offering payment and asking for favour and passive bribery is asking for payment and offering favour it is still called bribery if the trade is never done it is sometimes difficult to decide whether something is a bribe or just a reward if a father pays his son for washing the car that is just a reward or payment however if a parent pays a child for eating up its dinner that might be thought of as a bribe because most people would think that is not right bribery can be a crime in more serious cases such as when a person offers money to hide their own wrongdoing if a motorist is caught speeding by a policeman and offers the policeman money or a bottle of vodka to persuade him not to report him that is bribery if someone wants to take something into a country that is forbidden or that they would have to pay tax on they might offer the customs officer a bribe to persuade him to let them through some corrupt people will not do their jobs at all like delivering some package unless they get a bribe on top of their normal pay those examples are clearly illegal against the law and are rare in many countries but bribery is quite common in business in many parts of the world it is difficult to do anything without offering bribes in these places giving business people presents in the hope that they will want to do business with you may just seem like good manners at times but in some cases it may seem more like bribery people who are found to be taking bribes can sometimes lose their jobs in some cases like the case of the motorist bribery is against the law miletus miletus mī lētəs ancient greek literally transliteratedmilētos latinmiletus was an ancient city on the western coast of anatolia in what is now aydin province turkey near the mouth of the maeander river in ancient caria henneveux henneveux is a commune it is found in the region nordpasdecalais in the pasdecalais department in the north of france 2pentanone 2pentanone or methyl propyl ketone mpk is an organic compound it is a ketone and is very similar to butanone but it is more expensive to make because of this it isnt used as a solvent as often as butanone some of it is found in tobacco flesh flesh is the soft part of the body between the skin and the bones it is sometimes compared to bones in the sayingflesh and bone if it is to be eaten it is normally called meat instead

of france previously onsalem it would appear there is another enemy at your gates then let us use this common threat as reason to unite i have left a token of my appreciation i do know you mary i know you do not love me now but you will i was quite capable of disposing of george in my own manner i prefer to have george in my pocket not yours what happened to you john i fought fire with fire and got burned you will kill no witches tonight wrap itround with walls of thorn let his mad love for me be born i i love you you hide in here and you wish upon the moon itself to be as unmarked as you once were the last of the true witches do not lie to me there could be no greater error than that you know increase mather oh he and i danced a lively jig and neither of us left it unmarked search your memory cotton surely your father told you some hint to exactly how he sent this siren back to hell would that he had im afraid all his secrets died with him i never thought id say these words but i need you increase mather ashes to ashes dust to dust every man feeds the conqueror worm i eat your flesh so obey you must by my command moist earth turn give up your dead their secrets to tell increase mather i call you from hell alas poor increase i knew him well too well dear increase you really think id allow you to lay hands on me feel better no i thought not you always were a slow learner do you understand now you are dead snatched from the burning shit pits of hell to serve me if you would speak perhaps in death you must first learn what you never did in life to listen painful i know for a man who lived by the power of his speech to be silenced or perhaps you weep for all those voices you silenced or is it just the torments you now suffer for those crimes to give you a voice aww poor increase yes now you uh you wanted to say something go ahead god damn your soul to hell oh ive already offered up my soul to hell you on the other hand must have been terribly surprised to find yourself consigned there nothing could have surprised me less no ive always gone where all the others my idiot son included are too weak to go i take the battle to the very heart of darkness i would do it again each mans hell is as unique as his crimes what was yours mine it is me strapped into my own torture chair beset by a legion of devils each wearing my own face mortifying my flesh with implements far more fiendish than any i could ever have contrived gripped in hands as scarred as my own no one can imagine or bear the torments of ones own worst acts they say that those of us who find our hell on earth will find our heaven in hell even you i should think would not summon me from my grave simply to gloat you lost the battle for the soul of salem and now you suffer in hell without even the consolation of victory i want to give you a second chance a boon from mary sibley satans favorite whore why would you do anything for me you didnt just fail in salem the world knows you for your great triumph back in germany but that was a failure too the witch you supposedly killed still lives the bitch walks the streets of salem at this very moment now help me defeat her for good yes mary sibley youre right you know she fooled me before but she wont she wont do it again but before i can teach you how to destroy her now and forever i must observe the bitchs lair where am i in salem and outside of it what do you want witch so much magic on your flesh you are becoming what you hunt witch hunter careful or youll be torn apart by your own dogs i hunt i am my own dog and so you tear yourself apart such a desperate move to let a medicine man bind your soul to the great spirit did they even warn you of the price youd pay for such power all except the part where id have to spend eternity listening to your bullshit why dont you just kill me because i am not done with you yet never had much use for men but im starting to think i might have some for you id see you all burn well i have no problem with that as long as they are the right witches is that why you saved anne hale i did not save anne hale from you i saved you from her its nothing short of astonishing you seized the puritansheartland from right out underneath them got them to murder 13 of their own kind to fulfill your grand rite even had the infinite satisfaction of using the odious increase mather as your final victim well this would have been an enormous indeed unprecedented triumph but you dared the ultimate unleashing a witch pox which turns their very bodies into hellblood and opens a new gate of hell at their feet mrs sibley you are indeed a wonder for the ages thank you countess but i must humbly ask for your help now with mr sibley so inconveniently dead i must shore up my authority in these final days your prestige and glamour rule salem i would like to invite a few of the important people to a dinner for you and of course your son to sit at my table as my friend and supporter would make all the difference its a splendid idea yes yes i was right our interests truly are as one you know sebastian i have always responded much more to the carrot than the stick and what variety of carrot might you have in mind i do not relish having georges body hanging over me if i could truly believe that you had disposed of it id be so grateful and my gratitude sir could raise the dead consider it done the last trace of george will be gone before the night is through you will have your chance tonight to find out if the countess is the same witch you fought all those years ago when i see her i will know if it really is her you see she bears my mark just as i bear hers more importantly i will find where she keeps it it one unholy object allows her to maintain her obscenely long existence destroy it you destroy her but what exactly is this object you will learn the price of that knowledge once i have located it while she and her son dine here you will have the run of her ship cotton loves me but if he is spelled to love me then how can i ever be sure his love is real i want a man not a puppet tell me brown jenkins is it possible to get everything one wants and not be happy youre not happy either are you what is it you want cheese oh he simply wants to suckle and be fed by his mistress oh come here it is the price for doing all your bidding there now there you should be proud to bear your witch mark but of course upon your life you must also keep it a secret just as you were supposed to keep our secret from mary sibley i should punish you horribly here and now but i will give you a chance to redeem yourself soon youll receive an invitation to dine at the sibley mansion this evening during dinner youll slip away to steal your fathers book of shadows there are secrets in that book secrets you and i both need me why me because only you can find it but how can i find a book ive never even seen before ah some things only need to be sought to be found succeed and all will be forgiven but fail and well failures not really an option is it welcome back to andover doctor theres one more back here uh hes not yet dead might as well be dum spiro spero while there is breath there is hope my hope that is hear me man give me your blessing will you sacrifice yourself so that countless others may live there are secrets you want opened mother leave them to me there is no shell so hard i cannot find a way in though i believe the lovely widow sibley given time will open herself willingly for me like a rose yes my dear im aware that your charms are exceeded only by your selfregard the real question is whether mary sibley is hiding something from us or someone is hiding it from her you are indeed a sphinx maam whatever do you mean well let us just say that i do not know if she has in every sense what it takes to complete what shes begun but we may find that out tonight due to her timely invitation and if she does not what then of the lovely mary sibley and her essex hive comme toujours we slay them all at last and you will let me do it for you wont you with my own hands and teeth ohh is she not lovely now our mercy shes a rare bloom a belladonna a flowering nightshade and must be for mercy will now bring the children to me so that we may go on blooming when have i ever failed you well never schatzi never no you gathered them faithfully and well since you were but a child yourself but time takes its toll on most you are too old now and the little ones fear you well it embitters the blood and it risks drawing too much attention now the children will come willingly to mercy as they once did to you besides youre now ready for more challenging play mary sibley what a pot of piss pox and poison that may be so my dear but as every witch knows piss pox and poison all have their use where do you think you are taking my son to the woods where i can keep him safe from the countess like you kept george safe i warned you not to underestimate the threat and now you invite her here would you have me fight back the sea waves with a sword sometimes letting the undertow carry one is the only way to escape it come on proud mary never learns oh i have learned much from you sister including where not to place my trust no one can protect my son better than i what ails you mather i cannot sleep i cannot eat i cannot read tell me is love a sickness well love is an odd fever one that longs for that which causes it then there is no cure hmm none that i can administer for my part i have found these last days staring into the riddling face of death enough to sober me what have you seen ive been to andover im quite sure their pox was inherited from ours and yet the victims there they they do not suffer with this black bile perhaps as with love this fever longs for some particular end for a man of science you speak in riddles well lets just say i have an opportunity to observe that end tonight an experiment tell me reverend as a doctor of the soul would it be a sin to sacrifice one man to save many the one must sacrifice himself like christ otherwise it is not sacrifice but murder and if one murdered a man about to die is that really a crime a crime perhaps not but a sin no doubt ah i can live with that question is can you i suppose well find out then i will call upon you when the time is right shut up and keep spinning or feel me mighty wrath what are you looking at get back to work what are you doing whos gonna pay for that huh youre gonna pay for this you little brat get back to work i hate formal dinners i wish i were an indian i bet they never have to dress for dinner what do you say brown jenkins can you make me an indian maiden no i thought not well at least i would rather not enter alone that is the worst part when you enter a room and all eyes turn to judge could you bring cotton to my door to accompany me with a bouquet in hand poetry on his lips oh thank you theyre beautiful they are but a pale shadow of your own beauty really truly i hope the neighbors wont miss the flowers ive come to walk with you to mary sibleys oh i was just thinking how lovely it would be when did you decide to come well to be honest i was on my way and the thought of you just dawned in my mind like like the rising sun ill be a few moments must i be here you know nothing bores me quite like a supper whatever mary sibleys insidious intent and i dont doubt her narrow little mind has one tonights dinner shall work for my purposes too how can you still doubt her mother salem is clearly well on its way to hell on earth oh it takes a harder heart than hers to open the gate a heart like mine had not that pious hypocrite increase mather stopped me but he did not stop mary sibley do not set your heart on having mary sibley this may turn out to be her last supper if i find her wanting at anytime including tonight she may not live long enough for you to bed her let alone love her a toast to our new friends in salem to the indefatigable mary sibley and to absent friends like dear george sibley resting peacefully upstairs let us eat and drink our fill in honor of him exactly as he would wish to friends to friends to friends its been too long doctor i still remember your last visit and your palpable taste for all things elizabethan even in your fair company i find it hard not to think of the plague that rages on while we sit and sup here i understand and your dedication is admirable but we are here and we must eat would you care to carve doctor is that the role you wish for me the fiddler at romes pyre i heard you were a true physician but you are rude as a barber surgeon where are your manners i must have misplaced them perhaps in the same dark cabinet where you keep your morals i think we can all agree what a terrible thing it is that people are dying of plague while we feast off this fine china terrible but no more terrible than life itself the world is as it is on this at least we agree are you both so certain that things cannot somehow be made fairer life was not designed to be fair if it was designed at all hush now or the magistrate here will have to bring you up on charges of atheism and it does so go against all rules of decorum to have to testify against ones dinner guest very well then if the good doctor will not perform for you i am more than happy to play his role ladies and gentlemen if you will indulge me a moment i have aa question to put to miss hale and um i ask it in the sight of god and all of salems finest anne will you marry me forgive me i im quite overcome i just need some time to compose myself excuse me you dare to call yourself magistrate and treat your fellow man like that indians godless heathens there is no law against driving a hard bargain finally i plied them with port by the time the night was through they gave me all the furs they trapped that season in exchange for two dull axes and a motheaten blanket like piggies at the trough little knowing how soon they will be led to the slaughter some of them have their uses true enough i suppose mr hathorne will make a fine puritan beard for us to wear greedy and easily manipulated so he will live young mather on the other hand is harmless hardly filled with passion and ideals theres very little more dangerous than that combination no he must die so young mather can join his father in hell and of course the handsome dr wainwright he shall die first of all too fearless too intelligent above all too curious wouldnt you agree after all as youll soon learn if youve not already its precisely sacrifice that fuels our work you might say that sacrificing what we most love is the key to opening all doors are they cultivated no they hunt and what are you doing in here escaping a boring dinner and a drunken fiancé out you must know a great deal about witchcraft reverend to make such fine distinctions i studied the matter in college my family is also wellversed but i continue to read and continue to learn when i can learning really is that what they call it these days come child we must go my mother said to stay inside your mother does not understand the danger here now come with me no she said i didnt have to go i was to stay here i want to see my mother shh there is no time come on light and truth this roast is most delicious i quite agree hathorne would you pass the salt how will such a college be paid for mather that matter we discussed this morning removing all traces of george we just did im sorry i know i was supposed to stay in my room but i was scared oh thats all right love we all get scared sometimes and who is this precious little boy this is georges nephew and where are his parents slaughtered by indians we have only just ransomed him back he is unused to civilized company and most naughty for interrupting our dinner tell nathaniel to take you to bed and read you a story he is a most precious little lamb anne cotton ive been looking for you is that an answer to what w to my proposal yes yes yes yes yes oh love no im sorry cotton i cant not like this mather not tonight you said you wanted to be there well its time for you to protect my immortal soul goodnight then good night we were both born free john alden and both ended slaves to the same woman not me not anymore if that were true witch hunter mary

to be absolutely strictly theological in fact william booth made a little mistake in the song because god will never ever send another pentecost it was a once off thing and in our english language we actually make this mistake when we talk about birthdays french in some ways are for more sensible with language and you only ever have one birthday the rest of them are anniversaries of your birthday and god has only ever and only ever will send one pentecost and that took place on the day of pentecost the birthday the birth of the church there are as weve been reminded we celebrate that again today an anniversary ive gotta confess i dont like th the expression whitsun so much i prefer er the expression what it really is it is pentecost and literally it means just fifty that what it means and it was fifty days se se se seven weeks after the death and resurrection of jesus and the disciples had been told to wait in an upper room until the holy spirit would descend upon them and youve had that record read to you from acts chapter two of just what took place on that day that birth day of the church of jesus christ course it didnt end there birthdays are beginnings not endings and the early church grew from there and that experience that took place on that initial day that is the birthday of the church was not just a one off thing but as others came into the church they experienced not another pentecost but if you like their own pentecost and were gonna look at a passage in just a few moments in its in the eighth chapter of acts where a group of people there they were samaritans how they came in to experience their pentecost but you know for every one of us as christians jesus christ lives in us by the holy spirit by his spirit jesus christ when he er went back to heaven he went back as a fe as a glorified but as a physical being that is why the physical resurrection of jesus is so important there is a man in the glory there is a man seated on the right hand of god the father there interceding for you and for me its not his spirit thats doing it it is the same person that the disciples spoke to when they walked the streets of palestine it is the same person that went around healing the sick it is the same person that was born in the in the manger at bethlehem he is now after having died been raised again by the power of the trying god had he is now ascended back into heaven in glorified form and he is there interceding representing you and me before his father there in heaven he is there in that local situation and just the same as when jesus was here on earth he was in one place he he confined himself to a body and he is there now in the glory but yet we say we invite jesus into our heart and he walks and we sing the song from the he walks and he talks how is it that this happens if jesus is there in heaven well it happens and its made possible because he does it by his spirit now there arent two spirits theres not the spirit of christ and the holy spirit theres not a multitude of spirits god is a spirit and he is the mystery of the trinity god the father who is also spirit god the son who is also spirit and god the holy spirit and so jesus christ indwells your life as a christian and he indwells my life as a christian by his spirit by the holy spirit we are born again by the spirit of god we become christians through the work of the holy spirit but the new testament teaches us that apart from that new birth by the spirit and that indwelling of jesus christ in our lives by the spirit there is a subsequent experience that is called receiving or being baptized as a holy spirit were gonna look at this little passage in in acts eight which shows to us that these samaritan chri they were saved they had accepted jesus christ as their as their saviour they had been born again they were christians they had been baptized and yet there was something missing in their experience let me read a few verses reading first of all from verse twelve it saysthat when they believed philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of god and the name of jesus christ they were baptized men and women alike and even simon himself believed and after being baptized he continued on with philip as he observed signs and great miracles taking place and he was constantly amazed this fellow simon you read about him in a few verses earlier he was a he was a magician a so er a sorcerer he was the the wi the witch doctor if you like if he was in i i in an african situation there he was he was the medicine man of the town of the area and he too believed and was converted he was baptized and he was amazed at the miracles that hed seen being performed by philip through the power of god he was a man who was used to the supernatural but he was amazed at the things that he saw and it says now when the apostles who were in jerusalem heard that somaria had received the word of god they sent them peter and john who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the holy spirit for he had not yet fallen on upon any of them they had simply been baptized in the name of the lord jesus they they began laying their hands on them and they were receiving the holy spirit now when simon saw that the spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles hands he offered them much money saying give this authority to me as well so that everyone on whom i lay my hands may receive the holy spirit but peter said to him may your silver perish with you because you thought you could obtain the gift of god without mo with money you have no part or portion in this matter for your heart is not right before god therefore repent of this wickedness of yours and pray the lord that if possible the intention of your heart may be forgiven you for i see that you are in the gaol of bitterness and in the bondage of inequity simon answered and said pray to the lord for me yourselves to that nothing of what you have said may come upon me philip who was an evangelist he had gone down to somaria in fact the holy spirit had taken him there if you read a few er verses a chapter or so earlier on he had been speaking to one man to a er er a high official from ethiopia and he had been sharing with him from isaiah chapter fifty three the message of jesus christ this ethiopian he had come to jerusalem he was a he was a ago a godly man he was seeking after the things of god and he had come to jerusalem on a pilgrimage to worship god and he was returning home and he had got hold of the scroll that had isaiah fifty three in it and he was reading it and philip goes up to the man in the chariot he said do you understand what youre reading the man says how can i except somebody explain to me and philip it says there he says and er er he preached unto him jesus showing him that isaiah fifty three referred to jesus christ and the man was er accepted christ as his saviour and they went down and philip baptized in there in in in the river and as they come out of the water the fa the bible says the spirit takes philip away and he goes down now to to so to somaria and and he starts preaching there in somaria a and theres this tremendous result he sees miracles taking place many folk coming to know jesus christ the saviour it says there was great joy in all the city and yet there was still something missing and word gets back to apostles in jerusalem they had heard about the blessing there they had heard about the healing the deliverance the joy yet nobody had received the holy spirit theyd been baptized in water as weve already read and yet nobody had received the holy spirit now as weve said earlier on the holy spirit works in the new birth and it is through the work of the holy spirit that we come to know god that we are born again that we become christians jesus shortly before he left his disciples he tells them its in mark chapter sixteen er yes mark chapter sixteen in verse seventeen it saysthese signs will accompany those who have believed in my name they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues we are born again of gods holy spirit this is something that god does in in the verses earlier jesus says go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation he who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved its the work of gods spirit the result of the preaching of the gospel men and women respond and are born again they become followers of jesus so the holy spirit works in our lives to bring us to christ to bring us to new birth to bring us to become christians then there is this subsequent experience which follows receiving or being filled with the holy spirit peter tells in his first apistle in chapter one in verse twenty three for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable that is through the living and abiding word of god so the holy spirit is at work and gods word is used in bringing us to new birth in bringing us er to faith in jesus christ and this is what happened here in somaria in verse fourteen it sayswhen the apostles in jerusalem that somaria had received the word of god and we cannot become christians without gods word it is his word that makes us aware of our condition that we are sinners it is his word that makes us aware that jesus christ came and died for us that god loves us how shall they hear the bible says without a preacher how will they how will folk hear how will they come to faith without the word of god faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of god so when they hear this the apostles back in jerusalem they send peter and john down to somaria for this special purpose that they might pray for them that they might receive the holy spirit now why why couldnt philip have prayed for the people he had brought them to faith in jesus christ he had preached the gospel god had through him performed miracles amazing miracles and signs and wonders why couldnt philip pray for them well of course theres a sense in which he could easily have prayed for them but at that moment in that particular place that was not gods purpose and this is sometimes where we get a little bit you know hung upa a and and when we tend to make a little bit we make mistakes a lot we have got to allow god to do his work in his way and in his time and in gods plan at this particular moment i this was not philips function it wasnt his job he had fulfilled he had discharged his mission he had preached the gospel he had seen men and women coming to jesus christ he had seen the mi mi miracles happening he had baptized those who have put faith in jesus and now you see its not a one man show there was there was a leadersh there was a team involved here the apostles come down not because philip was unable to do it not because he was incapable of doing it but here is gods purpose of ma of people working together in bringing about his will and his purposes weve all weve gotta remember this that every one of us we have a place in gods will and plan and whilst we are in that place everything is good well theres theres still problems of course there are still difficulties there are still heartaches but things are working right the machinery is working correctly but once we try to operate outside of that place and we try to do somebody elses job we try to fulfil somebody elses function then we are in trouble then the thing is out of gear then the gears start crashing theres not that smooth synchronized er way of going on which god purposes and in and intends you see god is thi i is a god of order hes not a god of disorder its not a case of anybody doing what they like he works according to his pattern and who are you and i to tell god what his purpose is and his patterns gonna be he is sovereign and he will work according to his will and hes used philip and now he ii i in his purpose he brings down peter a a and john to to to have their part i in his will and his purpose at this time we do not all have the same ministries we do not all have the same function within the body of christ and later on the apostle paul he elaborates on this and he uses the picture of an ordinary body and he says every members not the same were not a our our physical bodys not made up of a multitude of hands or a multitude of feet there are feet and the feet has one function the hand has another we dont hear with our hands we hear with our ears and every part of that body has a function and the body is working well and fine when every part is doing their function now at a pinch i might be able to walk a step or two on my hands with my feet in the air believe me its not a pretty sight and i wont get very far and even if i how far i get it wont be quick because god didnt give me hands to walk on he gave me feet to walk on and so the body works better when each part is doing its particular function and this isnt just true of course of our physical body its true of his body the church and oh when we do something else and my hands say to my feetha hang on you can walk as well as they can lets try it they cant and theres cra theres chaos theres trouble and so it is within the body when i say i can do it as well as he can do it i can do that god says no hang on youre supposed to be doing this and its only as we fulfil our function with the body thats why its so important to kno for everyone of us to know what our ministries are that we might be not frustrated you know frustration is because im not able to do what i should be doing and oh the frustration that can build up in our lives as christians because we are not where we should be or doing what god purposes for us we do not then all have the same ministries and so peter and john they come down to somaria and when simon they they laid their hands on the folk and god in his graciousness pours out his spirit and they receive the holy spirit now when simon saw was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles hands he offered them money saying give this authority to me as well so that everyone on whom i lay my hands may receive the holy spirit simon was not trying to buy the holy spirit but rather the ability to impart the holy spirit theres a sense in which it might sound rather strange i think simon was there was something in this guy that is attractive i think he hes already opened hi up his heart to the lord theres a lot that hes gotta learn theres a lot hes gotta let go of theres a lot of his old life still there but isnt that true of every one us it doesnt all disappear over night we grow in grace we grow as we learn what god teaches us and were all at different stages in our pilgrimage and so simon he he wants what the apostles have got if only i could he he looks back on his life and he knows the power that he has experienced he knows the authority that hes had in that community he has seen supernatural things happening in his life and through him albeit they were not of god but has been involved in supernatural things and he sees something now that to him is mind blowing hes never seen anything like this before he has already been constantly amazed at what has taken place through philip and now with peter and john this is just the end as far as hes concerned he said oh if only i had that power if only if i had that ability can i acquire it can i have it and he offers them money he doesnt realize that you cant buy it he doesnt realize that its not up for sale but oh if i might have this ability to impart the holy spirit but hes made this carbon thing you see it wasnt for the the apostles couldnt it peter and john couldnt do it in the new testament there are four different words that are used to refer to a gift and the one used here means an endowment and an endowment comes not because of me but it becomes because of the grace of the giver i dont merit it i dont i havent worked for it ive done nothing worthy of receiving it it is the grace of the giver and the holy spirit gods gracious gift to us just like salvation is not because we merit it we dont merit it we havent worked for it we cant acquire it by any other means other than receiving the gift as god the gracious giver makes it available wanna say a bit more about that a little later on now these er samaritans they received the holy spirit now how do we know that the samaritans actually spoke in tongues because it doesnt tell you that here it doesnt say so but it certainly as you read through the new testament the acts of the apostles it certainly is the norm for those who received the holy spirit that they spoke in other tongues and weve already read that verse from marks gospel where it says quite jesus himself says quite clearly that those these signs will accompany those who believe in my they will speak with new with new tongues and wherever you read of this experience happening again and again you read of the folk there receiving the holy spirit and speaking in in other tongues in speaking a language they have not learned it wasnt just on the day of pentecost and it seems that this is the norm and there comes a time when you dont always mention the norm you dont underline it every time you dont refer to it every time because it is the excepted thing it is the normal practice and everybody was aware that this was the norm and so you accept it and take it for granted it is however mentioned in most incidences in the new testament but if they didnt speak with tongues how did simon know that they had received the holy spirit it wasnt because their faces suddenly lit up it wasnt because there was some weird expression that had come over them how on earth did he know and the only record that we have in scripture of any evidence of folk having received the holy spirit was that they spoke with other tongues there certainly was some evidence when simon saw that the spirit was bestowed to the laying on of the apostles hands it wasnt just something he conjured up in his imagination there was some evidence for it there was something that with one of his sense that he could recognize there was a physical sign and yet in the new testament there is no other sign given there is no other physical manifestation given of the holy of the o baptism of the holy spirit other than that of speaking in other tongues you see it wasnt their joy it wasnt just because they were exuberant they had already i di expressed this joy back in verse eight at the preaching of the gospel there was much rejoicing in the city there was great joy in the city so it wasnt just the joy he was used to that this was something over and above that and certainly as you read through the new testament and the in both the acts of the apostles and the apistles the apistles of paul in particular speaking in tongues goes hand in hand with receiving the holy spirit now speaking in tongues is not the holy spirit and the holy spirit is not speaking with other tongues but they go together its an evidence you know its a little bit like a a car log book or a registration doc document as theyre called now the log book the registration document is not the car but it is evidence of the ownership of the car ive got the registration document because the car belongs to me i cant drive the document around and sometimes we make that mistake as though speaking in tongues was the holy spirit it is but an evidence of the holy spirit it is one of his gifts one of his ministries one of his many many ministries but it is one of his ministries and if weve been filled with the holy spirit then we should have the evidence to go with it there should be the the aca station if you like there should be the documentation and it certainly seems in the new testament that that is speaking with other tongues its not the only thing of course you see its not just speaking in other tongues there is gonna become the evidence of it as well as we grow in him notice also that there is no evidence or suggestion that they had to wait for th for this baptism for this infilling of the holy spirit it is gods free gift to all that is why i i i mentioned those mar those remarks right at the beginning god will never ever send another pentecost the only people that god told to wait were those early disciples to wait in jerusalem until the holy spirit came and they had to wait for ten days from the ascension of jesus until the holy spirit came there is no suggestion anywhere else in the new testament of waiting for the holy spirit he has already been given god is not gonna give the holy spirit again he has given him and he has never withdrawn him and so its not a case of our waiting its rather a case of our receiving you see if i was to say to you right well i am gonna go out and purchase something im gonna get something and give it to you as a gift then you have got to wait until i do that i might go out and buy it straight away i might wait weeks months before i acquire the particular thing to give to you as a gift youve gotta wait on on me giving it to you but once i have the thing and make it available and say here is the gift that i promised its yours its available then all you have to do is come and take it and any waiting any time lag is not my fault its not cos ive been slow in getting it ive already got it there its all wrapped up its gift wrapped with your name on it any time lag any any period of waiting is because you havent come and received it and so it is with gods gift of the holy spirit he does not suggest there is no suggestion in the new testament that we have got to tarry and wait and long and and so on for it its there available to receive the apostles came down to somaria they laid hands on them and they were receiving the holy spirit and this is gods purpose he is given the holy spirit and he has not withdrawn him it is gods free gift to his people harold carter some of you will know of him and have heard of him who was er a preacher within one of the early preachers within the pentecostal movement in this country and one of their teachers said that to teach people to wait for the holy spirit is nothing in the world but a combination of works and unbelief you see if i were to start waiting it means ive gotta start doing something what am i waiting for am i waiting on god who is reluctant to give god is the most generous giver in the universe hes not reluctant to give hes not slow in giving jesus used the illustration he says you parents you fathers if your children are hungry you dont mock them by giving them a stone you give them egg you give them bread you give them meat you dont give them a scorpion something to harm them you dont mock them by giving them some something they cant eat how much more your heavenly father will he give the holy spirit to those who ask of him to those who come and receive it notice also that peter and john did not pray that god would give them the holy spirit they prayed that they might receive the holy spirit you havent gotta twist gods arm to receive his gifts he is a generous giver when sa they began laying hands on them and they were receiving the holy spirit in verse fifteen when they came down they prayed for them that they might receive the holy spirit sometimes in our praying re concerning the holy spirit we say we ask god to give but god says hang on ive already given youre asking me to do what ive done pray rather that they might receive and perhaps we should exercise this idea this thought when we pray for the salvation of people not to pray that god will save but rather that people will receive the gift of eternal life because gods made it available hes made his forgiveness freely available the gift is there gods gift of eternal life and the praying is not that god will save people hes er done all that he can to save but rather that people will respond to his generosity and receive his gift and so we see there in verse seventeen that they began laying their hands on them and they were receiving the holy spirit the onus was not on god doing something but on them receiving and you know if we wait for god to baptize us in the holy spirit can i suggest youll wait until you die and still not know that experience because god has done this hes hes made him available the thing is for us to receive to seek and receive that gift the promise and the fulfilment let me just give you a couple of verses there in john fourteen john make er jesus he makes this statement to his disciples in john fourteen in verses sixteen and seventeenand i will ask the father and he will give you another helper another word for the holy spiritthat he may be with you forever this is the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it does not know him does not behold him or know him but you know him because he abides with you and will be in you and therei peter when hes preaching on the day pentecost he says this is was has happened god has done just that just as jesus promised in acts chapter two and verse thirty twothis jesus god raised up again to which we are all witnesses therefore having been exulted to the right hand of god and having receiving from the father the promise of the holy spirit he has poured forth this which you both see and hear and sole lets just conclude our our thinking and some of the things weve been looking at a and remind ourselves that this gift of god in th the holy spirit the baptism of the spirit it is not an optional extra its not something for super saint its not something for special people or for certain types of people it is a not an optional extra it is gods purpose for every one of his children amen just as he purposed to save you so his perfect will and and desire is that you receive that you are baptized in the holy spirit i again using that sermon of peter in acts chapter two peter said to them in verse thirty eightrepent and let each of you baptized in the name of jesus christ for the forgiveness of sins and you shall receive the gift of the holy spirit for the promise is for you and your children and for all who will as many as the lord our god shall call to himself so it is not an optional extra its gods purpose its gods desire for you and for me and for every one of his children then the gift has already been given and god has not withdrawn it there will come the time when he will withdraw the holy spirit when he will be taken out of the world but as long as the church of jesus christ is here that will not take place so the gift has been given and has not been withdrawn there is only one requirement of re to receiving gods gift of the holy spirit and that is the requirement of being his child the requirement of salvation any one who is saved any one who is a christian who is a follower of jesus christ who has committed their life to christ who has received his forgiveness and who belongs to him any one is ready and able to receive the holy spirit there are no other qualifications it is a gift after all holiness sanctification living of godly life living a pure life theyre not the criteria theyre not theyre not god requires that of us but they are not requirements for receiving the holy spirit we dont have to get to a certain stage of holiness we dont have to get to a certain stage of sinlessness before god will give to us the holy spirit if that is the case then every one of us will wait till we die and we still wont know anything about this experience the only qualification is that jesus christ has saved me and im following him and i belong to him see if it depended on what i did if it depended on how good i was on how ru righteous i am well i am righteous in christ so all th even if you wanted to make that qualification its there in him i am righteous he is my righteousness and thats how god sees me through the righteousness of his son jesus and so we are able to receive the holy spirit we can expect to speak in other tongues as ive already mentioned from mark sixteen jesus said it would happen and as we read through the er accounts of this experience in the acts of the apostles we find it happening again and again and again and becoming obviously the norm now what does it do when we receive the holy spir what happens what did it do to us what does it do your life to my life let me say straight away it does not make us invincible ha oh no it doesnt make us so that satan has no power over us so that we never sin again it it doesnt make us invincible not at all it doesnt give some special credence to our testimony it doesnt turn us into to super soul winners great servants of the lord it doesnt do that at all the disciples were told before ten days before they received the holy spirit that they were to be witnesses unto him and as we mentioned last sunday night this word witness it means a martyr it means giving ones life being totally sold out for god a living martyr for him so what is it that gods give to the holy spirit to us for it is to empower us its to to en its to enable us its to to er to give us that which we havent got ourself but what is the the basic primary purpose of it well what is gods greatest purpose for you what is his greatest purpose in your life its not to make you the greatest soul winner the greatest witness the greatest preacher its not that because by obvious reasons that can only happen to one person greatest is the end of the line there cant be two greatests so that isnt his purpose for you and for me what is his purpose for our lives then its not to make us into some spiritual superstars like some great leader of the past or present his great purpose in your life and in my life is to reproduce in our lives the life of jesus christ amen now in some folk that will take special emphasis it will make them great soul winners in some it will make them great prayers in some folk it will make them this or that perhaps not in every body but for some folk it will do that but his greatest purpose in your life and in my life is to reproduce jesus christ to make us like him and ultimately that will be the end of the line for every one us we shall see him says john and we shall be like him but we will see him as he is and that is gods greatest purpose in your life and my life to reproduce in us the life of jesus christ in our day to day living in our service in our thinking in our motives to be like him there are some folk who will talk about the the baptism of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit and say oh well well theyre all very well and good but i would rather have the fruit of the spirit thats a ridiculous statement you see its not a case of either or gods purpose is both of them his purpose is that we might have the gifts of the spirit and develop the fruit of the spirit and he doesnt offer them its not an either or package it is i want both of them in your life i want to see evidence of both of them that is my purpose that you may be like me and hes given us certain gifts to enable us for this to happen in our lives and one of those gifts is the gift of the holy spirit thats why its not an optional extra it is something that each one of needs in our day to day living in our living in our service for him in our worship in our relationships with one another in our thinking our motives our our everything about us that we may be like him now lets just close with those words of of peter on the day of pentecostits not for other just he says its for you its for your children and its to as many as there are far off right down through the centuries as many as the lord our god shall call and who is he referring to then what does he mean shall call not call to be special people to be baptized but shall call to be his children his followers and so its for you its for me for the person sitting beside you and behind it is for every one of us if we are followers of jesus christ then he says i want you to receive my gift the gift of the holy spirit and o on this day when the church celebrates the coming of the holy spirit its not an historical thing its not something we look back to but its something that every one of us should be looking to as a present daily experience in our life the bi the new testament uses the expression be being filled and you and i perhaps we can look back to a day in our life when it was our birthday as far as that is concerned and god filled us with his holy spirit we received the gift of the holy spirit we were baptized in the holy spirit thats great the danger is that we look back to that and think of that but theres a sense in which every day has gotta be an anniversary of that a celebration of that be being filled with the holy spirit it wasnt yesterdays experience it wasnt yesteryear it wasnt something just that happened twenty thirty fifty years ago its something paul says that should be happening today hallelujah that same infilling the tap has not been turned off god is still wanting to continue filling his people with his spirit well lets sing again shall we from the redemption hymnal er number two hundred and thirty number two hundred and thirty and this song does say that there is just one requirement from our part and that is that we want to receive that we are thirsty ho everyone that is thirsty in spirit ho everyone that is weary and sad come to the fountain theres fullness in jesus all that youre longing for come and be glad and it goes on in chorus to use yet another picture of the holy spirit weve talked of one being of fire another picture is that of water i will pour water on him that is thirsty i will pour floods upon the dry ground open your heart for the gift i am bringing while you are seeking me i will be found two thirty and lets stand to sing chitignano chitignano is acomunein the province of arezzo in the italian region of

historical linguistics since people of different languages or dialects often talk to each other the way people talk becomes more like the way the others talk because of this it is natural for languages to sound differently overtime sometimes it happens slowly while in other times it happens quickly an example of a sound change in english is the great vowel shift when all of the long vowel sounds in middle english changed into what they are today this is why the way english is spelled is so differently from how it is spoken spelling systems that do not change with the sound changes of a language are often more difficult for a learner to learn how to read in that language these kinds of spellings are called fossilized spellings these include spelling systems like english french mongolian script and thai all of these spelling systems have changed little for the past few hundred years even though their spoken languages sound very different from how they used to sound spelling systems that change with the sound changes are often easier for a learner to learn how to read these languages include japanese turkish and german another much smaller sound shift in many dialects of english is the cotcaught merger where words with lower back vowels like incotandcaughtsound exactly the same to native speakers of certain english dialects and are spoken without any difference

hey kid im talking here even if you stay alive all alone its gonna be a tough life right so ill make it easy for ya who the hell are you giving ones name to someone about to die is meaningless youve got some luck kid its quite a coincidence for me to pass by for starters i took care of your revenge whether you hate them or regret their loss the dead will never come back tell the villagers in the valley what happened im sure they can do something about one kid like you even if only you still live its still a good thing i was remembering something from the far past hey how long are you going to sleep get up already if youre not going to get up ill keep remembering things of the past for instance the last time you wet your bed was in the autumn of your eighth year or when you were so hungry you ate a laughing mushroom and you almost laughed yourself to death that brings back memories master that brings back memories that brings back memories oh youre up you can rest a bit more if you want ive had enough successor of the hiten mitsurugi style seijuro hiko the thirteenth his skill is without a doubt the best but his personality is twisted hey brusque hey misanthropic hey so badmannered that he brings up embarrassing things about people that even the person concerned has forgotten what are you saying for days now ive been retraining my stupid apprentice who argued himself out of his apprenticeship in the first place there isnt another master anywhere who is so nice but im rather bored of it now if you cant land a single blow with the next attack forget about the final secret little tricks dont work at all against the master if this is indeed the last chance i will risk my entire heart and soul on it here i go yeah dont watch dont watch please spare just this child akane save this child save this child save this child save hey how long are you going to be sleeping wake up already because you concentrated on attacking with all your heart and soul you didnt plan out your landing and so you got a concussion that hurt you idiot but if you didnt do that you never would have hit me not even if you had tried for ten years as promised ill start teaching you the final attack all right dont you move even a tiny bit if you move the wrong way youll die and that will be it first a review the types of cuts in swordsmanship kara take kesa giri saka gesa hidari nagi migi nagi hidari kiriage migi kiriage saka kaze and tsuki no matter what attack of what style the actual cut is none other than one of these nine the natural defensive stance is designed based on these nine cuts but using the godlike speed of the hiten mitsurugi style to its full advantage you can punch in all nine attacks simultaneously this makes parrying or dodging it impossible this is the hiten mitsurugi style attack kuzu ryu sen this is the attack that i am best at it is true that parrying or dodging it is impossible i couldnt move at all this is the final attack hey hey dont space out and try it now wha to suddenly try it out sheesh are you daydreaming but master techniques youve only been instructed about dont sink in but if you get hit by it once and you learn from that youll be able to pull it off under pressure thats how weve always been training im surprised i lived through it well thats all because of my expert control if you understand hurry up and hit me with it full strength it is true that i couldnt move at all but it wasnt that i couldnt see it i was able to see how all nine were carried out here i go hiten mitsurugi style kuzu ryu sen i hit all the points it was the same kuzu ryu sen yet i lost the match is my kuzu ryu sen imperfect no it was perfect but even though the attack is the same the power changes if the user changes a multiplehit attack requires arm strength a charging attack requires weight however compared to me you seriously lack both in other words your kuzu ryu sen doesnt work against my kuzu ryu sen then i cant use the final attack if an attack could win against my kuzu ryu sen it would have to be the final attack of the hiten mitsurugi style amakakeru ryu no hirameki final attack whats that dumfounded look for bbut this is the hiten mitsurugi style attack kuzu ryu sen this is the attack that i am best at i couldnt move at all this is the final attack kuzu ryu sen this is the attack that i am best at see i never said that kuzu ryu sen was the final attack did i i was tricked kuzu ryu sen was born during the process of teaching the final attack in other words this attack is only used as a test teaching the final attack has always started with kuzu ryu sen next if the apprentice can strike through the masters kuzu ryu sen the teaching of the final secret is complete however think about the nature of kuzu ryu sen closely that way the form of amakakeru ryu no hirameki should become apparent the nature of kuzu ryu sen kuzu ryu sen cannot be parried or dodged then the only way is to land a slash before it happens good answer a battoujutsu that surpasses godlike speed that is amakakeru ryu no hirameki can you surpass godlike speed with a reverseblade sword that isnt made for quick draw techniques come on the mugyou stance with sword sheathed is that your answer how reckless i am aware of that however these eyes you think i fear death facing mastery of the final attack master you cant master amakakeru ryu no hirameki in your present form you really are a foolish apprentice ill give you one night search your soul and figure out what you are missing if you cant find it not only not only will you throw away the final secret but ill throw my life away right what im missing hes not here yeah no boy like that has come down here in this past week not even a cat has come to this village i guess he lost faith in the world and killed himself on the spot but its not like that doesnt happen often even if i use my sword according to the teachings of the hiten mitsurugi style in the end i cannot rescue one person what i can do is at least bury the corpses of the victims you made graves not only for your parents but also for those thugs they were slave drivers not my parents my parents died from cholera last year but thug or slave driver theyre the same when they die so you made them graves those three stones are miss kasumi miss akane and miss sakura all three of them were sold off to pay for some debt i only met them the day before but i was the only boy and since there were no parents around they felt that they had to sacrifice their lives to save me but thats why i tried to look for good stones but these were all i could find and therere no flowers its unfortunate to pass on without knowing the taste of good sake my tribute to them kid whats your name shinta thats too gentle its not fit to be a swordsmans name from today on your name will bekenshinill give you the best that ive got its been nineteen years since and tomorrow will be our eternal parting when is brother ken coming back lets see im sure hes coming back tomorrow you said tomorrow yesterday too you said it you said it oh is that so no im sure hell be back tomorrow really of course really brother ken please hurry back hurry back yahiko come inside already yeah youll catch a cold yeah the rains not stopping yeah im sure himura will master the final attack and come back soon yes but but kenshin always tries to put everything on his own back im afraid that he would even sacrifice himself if he masters a stronger attack its true that the fight against shishio might come out much better but what about the war between the manslayer and the pacifist in kenshins heart oh im sorry youre having a tough time with your own affairs right now misao oh no im fine now im sure himura will be all right after all hes someone gramps trusted i believe that when himura comes back gramps will wake up himura wont do anything that would betray your feelings miss kaoru hes not like that thank you well ill go look after gramps now okay thanks for taking the long journey you got here much later than expected i had a small mountain to go over en route so chief what about this swordsman named chou from shishios group oh yeah hes back here whats wrong its you yo sanosuke sagara makes his bold appearance in kyoto so were you able to find what you were missing no then it looks like youve finally reached your limit such an incomplete man can never win against shishio he cant win against the manslayer living inside his heart either even if you were to live youd be in agony for the rest of your life youd be tormented eaten alive by loneliness and you would slay men because of that instead of the final attack ending your life is my last job as your master are you prepared for your fate kenshin am i afraid of seijuro hiko of the absolute death that lies behind him am i afraid of death the chaos of the revolution stripped me of any desire for life but why do i fear death do not be afraid you fool but i was the only boy and since there were no parents around they felt that they had to sacrifice their lives to save me shinta shinta you just think about living on youre still little so you couldnt choose your way of life like we did so at least until you can choose how to live your own life you must stay alive i still yes thats it because you have slain many people you dont even value your own life that is what allows the manslayer nesting deep in your heart to take over your soul even using the power of a manslayer who sacrifices himself to protect those that you love or the weak it is only a moment in the long continuous strands of time live on kenshin then youll be able to use amakakeru ryu no hirameki as you please and you will never again lose to the manslayer hidden inside you dont worry this the fate between a master and an apprentice of the mitsurugi style i mastered of amakakeru ryu no hirameki at the cost of my masters life think of this event as removed from your vow to never kill anyone again master kenshin has finally mastered the final attack however the price he had to pay was too immense meanwhile hajime saito has arrived in kyoto he acquired shishios horrible plans from chou one of the juppongatana next time look forward to it please dean paul martin dean paul martin jr was an american pop singer and actor martin was the son of the entertainer

pay for paul simpler to keep the quarantine in place and then after one or two weeks we say that the village has been cleansed i may house my garrison there you cannot let healthy people die it is

the woods ah it must be clean or you will take another fever so you never told me when i was in the holy land you must have had suitors ah i must have well it is surprising you are not married it is and yet when one considers that marriage requires a man perhaps not a word of advice your charms such as they are ceased working on me at least five years ago a challenge a statement ow that hurt yes

the only way not at night you dress up as who is it the nightwatchman i do not taunt the sheriff i do not publicly flout his decisions ok so today at clun that was different it was an emergency and you were wonderful you were bold and i wish there were more emergencies is it all a big joke to you is it all so serious to you forgive me for being careful but so far nobody has had their tongue cut

look for somewhere else to house my garrison then say i was right no you see theres always a catch in politics theres always a deal if i were to say that you were right then i would lose face well that cant happen hm we must have authority so ill have to punish you for your outspokenness punish me i do not listen to suggestions that you were consorting with robin hood that would be unforgivable

carnation washington carnation is a city in king county washington united states field of study a field of study also called a discipline is a general topic of knowledge learning or research in schools they are often calledsubjects some examples include mathematics biology and classical studies disciplines require training and qualification qualified people are able to use the methods of a discipline and have knowledge of that discipline thus for example a chemist knows chemistry and can carry out chemical analysis in a standard chemical laboratory the discipline of palaeography the study of ancient writing covers knowledge of older forms of writing and how to study decipher and translate examples of early writing riverdale iowa riverdale is a city in iowa in the united states what you do now is er is er robert you can come up and take us through the four steps of selling however to make it a little bit more interesting you cant use your notes listen to robert and see how it goes then good morning all good morning robert survived this far right last friday we went through the four stages of selling now i must admit my first thoughts of it were it really gets my back up for some reason or other i dont know whether anybody else feels like that but i do now having said that and looking at it with an open mind i think it was certainly a very useful day the structure was there and i think anybody whos been in this business for any number of years some of us have been in it longer than others er know that you actually need a structure er of that of that little if you actually go out there without one and i know you find that eventually that is the structure that you come up with you start off by asking questions by the if you like and talking to people getting to know people getting next to people because its no good just going in there and throwing products at them it doesnt work i know i tried it and so you need to start off by getting close to people talking to them finding out all about you then move on and to find out what you actually can do find out what they actually need which is the second part and to do that once you do that its quite easy as i say once youve actually made contact with them and you are on a friendly basis you then you can hold very very useful conversation and let them come over quite naturally for the second part finding out what their needs are the third part is perhaps something that erm we find a little more difficult i do found that er number two number three and number four if you werent careful blends very much into one another and actually then part three as far as im concerned actually putting across the benefits is really the main part i think and that really is putting into everyday english what we know as professionals as in technical terms cos if you go and talk to somebody whatever it is they havent got a clue we have we talk about it all the time and i think the biggest criticism of the insurance industry as a whole is the fact that you dont talk to people in english and thats why its got such a foot in the door and i think the third part for me really is the most important part of the sales process relating our cockups in english the benefits the client that really is i think er the part that i erm are most useful in those i sold three and one of the reasons why and i think we got tremendous opportunity to develop an enormous part by just going in and speaking to people to explain to and they can relate to write lots and lots of and you can get a good grip we wont do it overnight it is something you have got to develop th that that to me is the most important part of not supposed to laugh always got to close people down and make sure we do get the order so as i say i i found friday very useful i found the er the renewed routines although we i mean we all had lots of problems with the videos they didnt come out but it didnt really matter because the three of us in our group sat there and very openly very honestly and without any personal animosity whatsoever helped each other and that again as i say very useful and so above all a and i think its something that i feel very strongly about because we havent talked to people weve in english understandable language about what this is all about okay well done thank you very much that gave us an overview of friday and we looked at the individual steps but we know everybody says yes we ask the business we came across and to put gareth can you take it through and explain what it is and explain each stage so lets hear from gareth then thank you oh sorry erm explain come forward sometimes youve got to watch for to erm to get back to what method did they come up with well the erm i think sales subject asking questions was erm asking a lot of questions and give an example on the give an example on the board how you do that er lets have it in explain go on what did you prepare last night thinking ive already oh dear never mind erm erm first one actually asked in the first place the first thing to acknowledge make sure to answer er good well done thank you very much okay that was an overview of fridays successful sales course day and the purpose of is to watch why do you come overflow acknowledge we probe we answer and confirm the temptation to answer the now straight on we havent got the real reason why we are projecting quite intense you will find you may be like today acknowledge you probe projection you answer you confirm the over you overcome that objection so youd only look in that projection what will happen right it will try and close there is still i am sure of specific areas and you have to highlight those areas and get them out of the way right so that was friday what you do today before you move on id like to introduce you to maggie who will be one of the role play customers for today and tomorrow maggie is one of the senior advisers one of the successful senior advisers at the brecon branch and the chap next to her who hasnt turned up yet is is he was on a christmas bash last night he did he has told me hed be late hell be here oh about ten oclock ish his who is the branch manager at the horsham branch and hell be the other role play customer you may see a guy wandering in and out groups and thats a guy called geoff who works for the british national corpus and these are the people who are trying to have or produce ten million words of the written word and a hundred million erm spoken words which is a corpus whereby er come and look at the english language at some time in the future and identify and listen to some of your and your dialects and what you said so make sure you have lots of input as weve got quite a broad spectrum of different dialects today but hell be wandering in and out er throughout today so introductions out of the wayof today is to look at the first two steps of the full centre rotaopen and step two the exploration of need which will come if you like after objective is that utilizing easy steps of the full step sound process so thats what were going to do today but before we look at each step in turn ill take you back to erm if you like the ignition key of the whole sales structure what starts the whole sales bill er project sociability no no before that sorry much before that the whole biblical use that starts the whole sales project going yeah telephone call yeah so we have made our telephone call weve made an appointment for say seven oclock in the evening what time would you get there what time would you turn up there couple of minutes quarter to yeah about quarter to or give yourself time to get there but why do you want to get there early organize yourself obviously be punctual and be on time so that they can set you up their clock by you yes yeah what else know what their name is yeah how old they are anything that might yeah thats right plan preparation and what else suss the area yeah look at the area yeah but dont prejudge cos you could get there and there could be a four oclock there and you might think oh my god what a waste of time this is that could be ever right and the true it could be yes rub your hands with glee forty pound back what a waste of time that was so dont prejudgethe purpose of being there is to organize yourself get a prime preparation about the customer look at the area because that could be part of er your talking point so appropriate thing so we go we knock at the door we assume its the right address he comes to the door and what will be the first thing you should say yeah yeshi you know with warm both hands the boat what would be the first thing people tend to do when theyve met for the very first time shake hands yes shake hands shake hands with them and again yeah what was it the difference between the first hand and the second handshake you may not see it at the back there a lot stronger okay well a thing called power handshakes which i thought were the biggest load of gobbledegook until i watched them a specific chat show host there is a story dont give the answer away but who would you say is very positive one of the most aggressive chat show hosts in say today could be i t v or b b c no clive no gloria is shedes how about des now what tends to happen is as you know there is lots and lots of different guests on his chat show and if he feels threatened by them in any way shape or form what he does he relaxes hercomes in over the top turns them over takes them by the shoulder and pushes them into the chair and what he is saying he is saying this is my chat show dont you submit and the next time i saw that happen was when erm colin who was the coloured guy during the gulf crisis met erm our m john bill clinton had gone for his inaugurations now president of the united states so john high u k john and he met colin and we had about two sort of erm semi heads of state battling in the what went on so so john came in over the top colin put his hands on top line so john said im in charge over the top colin said no he said no im not and john says well no actually im in charge here and cosy not at all what it was was im in charge no youre not and if you meet two people give me two people who are both power like pin it on the top as well what it is you have a bit of a power twist that easy and of course thats embarrassing so when john met maggie he thought well i cant twist her over and get stuck in there so what he does now he always comes in over the top so every time you see john shake hands with anybody hell always do that and come in over the top actually im in charge and he sort of er sort of stamps his authority on the individual so what im saying to you is dont go in over the top you knowfive just a normal but a firm handshake because a man would expect it because a weak ha ha handshake can be irritating and the same thing if she is a woman dont be conversational just pinch her handgive her a firm handshake because youve got about ninety seconds in which to make your first impression and of the ninety seconds about ninety five percent of that time is made through visual images and that can be your dress sense the way you carry yourself present yourself erm body language dont invade his personal space only i think about erm i think about twelve twelve seconds off of ninety seconds or there thereabouts is spent on what you say the large proportion of the impressions made to what they see how they visualize you so if you look a mess youre backing on the wrong foot you give youre getting off to a bad start straight away and be aware of hidden signals that youll give your emanating successful sales people if you have a hole in your shoe that can be intensely embarrassing and theyll spot that so the head of a major i cant think of the guys name and he just had a major acquisition and this guy was mega bucks and the company had gone escalated and then opportunity of this guy you know saying what a super guy he was what an entrepreneur and what he done is you know ive had something head you know im in charge and he put his feet on the desk there and he had a hole in his shoe and s spread across all the papers the next day was this guy with a hole in his shoe and this was a multi million pound corporate er corporate body he couldnt afford to buy a decent pair of shoes so check your shoes women tend to look for three to four things your shoes your fingernails ties and socks okay so make sure you look the part dont wear overpowering aftershave that says more about your sexuality and sensuality than about your business acumen overpowering dress so we set the scene we look good we havent crushed them to death and hes gonna take us into one or two areas either the living room or the study or maybe the kitchen so if we look at the living room i would say this is our our living room right into the hall erm the t v in the corner there settee there so you wander in there gill where would you put yourself where would you sit down just there yeah okay why would you go there because i i want to sit in the room where theyre both gonna be facing not sitting like an odd dog right yes the could be if you pop yourself there he sits there and she sits there youre asking him a question hes not sure he looks at her so if you look you cant see what youre doing you want to be able to maintain eye contact with them both yeah one of the effective ways well theyre going to be aware of the layout of the living room this is their this is their stage as we come across you know slippers there and a hot steaming mug of tea embarrassed in there all of a sudden youre infringing upon his his stamping ground his authority and he wont take it too kindly according to if you change the settee you are knocking the t v because on about two calls er last week the t v never went off so what youre doing is to take the focal point away from them and theyre having to look at you if you know what i mean what so you would go there then i would go there simply because of the situation where the t v never is switched off tend to try and get rid of the t v because you dont want the distraction in the background spoil never switched it off we need it now we need we are a nation that needs continual visual stimulation take the t v away and conversation collapses and dies and in a survey a former german couple they took away lots of and they were nearly suicidal and they were nearly murdering the wife the husband and the children because they hadnt got the continual visual simulation a picture paints a thousand words this is where we have o h p this is where we have erm er as opposed to standing here and delivering erm an otherwise if we are gonna start switching off a heavy night the night before and you need visual stimulation to get you up and so personally id be satisfied you are there or there well effective ways of starting putting your authority wh where you wanna go is by using the there is no right or wrong way and personally i always take a briefcase with me because there you have the tools of my trade in there if you feel comfortable going in second one of these and these alone thats fine by him do what we did come in the first place you can go in take your briefcase pop it down there this says to themthis is where im gonna work from is that okay with you rather than plonking down there and getting everybodys so the suit so the suit the briefcase rather does have an effective purpose so lets say we havent gone into there and we go into the study he sits there where would you put yourself there straight just there yes okay why would you go there because the desk is consultation could be seen yeah see what youre doing if youre writing yeah yeah okay i think to go across there wont be so board room style can be seen as confrontational we used to have the layout on course not like this but in that sort of case is where im in the middle there and youre all sat around there i said they would be noticed because you got a better response from people who put you in small groups feel there is less pressure on them which if you imagine youve got twentytwenty four twenty four people all sat around in that particular format and i nominate somebody within the group twenty p pairs of eyes focus on this one guy if he doesnt know the answer to the question hes incredibly embarrassed if you spread the group up and as far as youre concerned theres only a couple of guys looking at you and within the group more supportive than just one big body and if youre feeling comfortable then the chances are you retain more information and part information to not just sat there those you find general public make no difference so yeah be aware and try not to be there may well be theres a chair there and a chair there there well i guess hed want you to sit there dont be tempted to pull the chair when it authority im here youre there do with me lets see how it goes and i trust you okay he stamps his authority again be aware if you have a desk the temptation is that you using a folder here and if your is laid on the desk what would he be able to do roger read it yeah hed be able to read it now the problem with that might produce is what what his potential problem would bepick it up what psychological barrier up theres a psychological barrier you reckon you can sell me something he might start asking you why answer to that question got there that starts the key thinking why do i the field list of why do i just time why do i do that you can go through the points one at a time i want you to concentrate on a specific area so you want to retain control you are the main youre in charge there so again be aware this is why i think this sort of folder worth its weight in gold put the c c q in there and it doesnt become a barrier if you have it like that something which is called the best of and at the same time this barrier so again be aware so if i was to say weve weve picked our area what potential instructions do we have do you think lets say weve got a good quite now what potential instruction do we have with that particular area that arena rather t v yeah the t v could do with a few big ones alright okay body stopper they want you to have a t v on and be tempted depends on what how it went to ask them to turn it off but if you cant that would upon them then youll have to work with it because what you dont want to be seeing is okay they are there youre here and theyre concentrating on this okay what other obstructions would we have pets yeah pets he just wants to say hello you knock at the door and this afghan wolfhound is playing in the back there take it in the kitchen and they say to you he only wants to say hello thats right this dog is bounding out and going to sniff and then calms down i went into one house and er you so i came in and i got to about sort of i dont know roughly there i think it was and she said do you have any objection to cats i said no not particularly that little grey persian cats in the so i went in there and then six of them cats and two gerbils oh my god what am i getting into so you can actually look at your jokes so nothing to do with pets really just put up with the hope or you can always take yourself with you miaow spreading the what other obstructions do we have how can we preempt that ask the time they go to bed yeah yeah you could do yeah if you have young children because they are far better sales people than we will ever be you could think of course do have children dad can i can i can ibed you go just to shut them up so if you have two small children there the chances are you will lose the woman put them to bed or if you lose the woman what have you potentially lost sale unfortunately the decision maker then youve lost them in maker hes going to do nothing without her being there again you want both people there so just a few ideas not let you know exhaustive but a few ideas to be aware of youve got appropriate so three ca get there on time let them set the clock by you people are more forgiving for somebody i think if you are a little bit late than if youre too early cos people are geared up to see you at seven oclock five to seven thats not a problem but quarter to seven that sets the whole the whole sale process the wrong seven oclock well i thought id come a bit earlier forget that they want a tidy living room they want to get the toys out of the way they want to present themselves in the best possible light so theyd be more forgiving if youre late than if youre too early to be on time right so here we go then lets look at step one the open right so okay so what would be the first part of this particular sales process introduction yes reaching an appropriate sociability and the business to be won or lost short space of time and wanted to set the scene and make a right a right impression at the right then appropriate too short too longaccept the so appropriate sociability how long have you been there just moved in do you know the neighbours that bit of information youve gathered especially late at night now on someones door thats already set back whatever nothing more embarrassing than going up right underneath oh hes got the wrong one and the door opens very embarrassed to get a to searchlight the panning down the street so we have responsibility to accept the team sat down and start what would you point five can i worry about that yes dont say ill give you a bit of my advice on a lead because er you havent had the call so you ought to be on your best level wise guy merely states who you are and who you represent and what advice you can give and thats it its no big deal if they wanna read it let them see cos very few people will actually say stop i need to speak with independent advise because hes working in my best interests where you are entirely with an independent company very few people at all would ever ever ever ever say that and we look at the when we look at the the erm format youll find called it a sadist because chains on him from because on him so that we however if you feel the buyers going to present a business problem we show them the buyers guide and a business card so you can give them the buyers guide explain what its for and then give them your business card and then that buyers guide to look for business card yeah the buyers guide but lets not get bogged down with this this isnt the problem something we have to do so he looks at the buyers guide business card and its thoroughly what will we do there yeah introduce bob for referrals then how do you tea how would you have tea well depending on the situation er you would ask him how he did came to be client yes okay carry on youre right there erm so erm come to with clients like this walking down just wanna go down quality thats the usual answer i get yeah erm you may have heard that weve grown big by being recommended er by word of mouth recommendations erm sorry robert oh yeah weve carry on you can erm by word of mouth recommendations it means that we we have to spend less money on advertising now that means that in the long run we can pass that on to the client like yourself ha ha by way of reducing and charges or increasing the benefits wherever possible right just in the course of our competence right in the course of our er er com our meetings danny erm i will be asking you to recommend me to people but if but only if you feel that this meeting has been of some benefit to you will that be okay well seriously gentleman well take it from there there theres a cup of tea out in the introduce it get my view of id give you the introduction one point commitment that you didnt get yeah but hopefully it wont be the so what youre saying was you youd recommend it to us yeah plan this is the way we do our business by recommendations okay you have to learn that script its got to roll off the tongue if you dont know the script youll have it youll leave it out you wont do it you havent planned for tea which means what you wont you definitely wont ask at the end of the first not a hope in hell begin the second cos you might ask at the end of the second appointment comes a shock to the guy who depends on my advice theres my business card i will now give me a ring yeah sure yeah lovely thanks a lot what is it was what did they tell you anyway erm hash it back to referrals thirty one weeks six hundred any of the thirty one weeks and theyre gone okay so make sure we plant the seed and and were planting the seed to go back to later on so weve planted the seed makes sense well see what you can do get mortgaged up what would we do now yes yeah why do there and what would be and the reason pauline is to service thats one of the reasons yeah one other yeah good one other to make sure yeah good well the first want to say hi two to look at the policy we have with us to make sure theyre so good as originally intended well what always follows the statement professional salesman invalidate it good and what will be a tentative well what do they mean by a tentative benefit tentative benefit yeah we dont want say well you know i can save you tax well if you save tax yes it is or bad planning try to keep it as broad as we possibly can so what attempted benefit would you undertake benefit yeah is making money work harder for you yeah try to keep it as broad as you can to do the well alright then i know why it is whats in it for me what game an hour in the future increasing your income like today or some time in then what would follow what would be my first yeah a tentative salesman we call it a proceed then why do we check proceed should be part of the whole self process and not just in to be delivered in one statement show you what the chances are youll be doing it anyway but not erm what you are actually doing purpose youll always be followed by a tentative benefit always be followed by cheque standing or in this case tell me how does that what are we gonna do now yes i need to take down one or two details will that be alright its part of the sales process for you to give better advicec c q no you dont but to get past the yes you do if you dont you could use an a four pad building up a picture of the guy and trying at some time with that oneif you do dont have it do obviously do business youre gonna need some form of i d card the final session would be to introduce er the c c q thats basically that is step one can you follow each part of that particular structure youve done a good step one what must that lead to before step one we did what and before step two we do youre not too sure what he wants hes agreed to see you next week he doesnt know why hes seeing you but you go back and you presentso try and overcome rejection but the thing was he wants to in the first place so you that one second time instructions from that point unlikely very very unlikely so youve set the scene with a good strong step one so looking at each indiv individual part of the open which parts do you think you could leave out none of them none of themso make sure you dont step one any questions or comments unlikely and he said no i dont want to go its easy sorry to have thanks for your time yeah yeah i wouldnt i wouldnt c c q i just go back to erm and to start chat basically and see what contact now acknowledgement could be can be thats a good question the temptation to fill the void is quite intense how how long do you think itll take for give up how long will it take before that person feels uncomfortable and has to respond how long does it take roughly ten specially fifth a fifth of a second and they start to feel uncomfortable by one second two seconds they are starting to perspire and they will have to say something unless you get a real swine to sell people one we sell to two the one that says i know the stuff a hope in hell he did that and he was quiet for twenty minutes twenty minutes i just sat with him yeah he sold he sold it to them in the end ninety minutes he just sat there forget what youre there for yeah horrible pretty intense that twenty minutes my god yeah for those of you that dont know how to the c c q then this might be a guide but a step in the right direction hopefully during our discussions with the client ill be making notes can the situation but one foot in your own regarding your own future plans ill just once more track dont say all give you the best possible advice effective way in achieving your future plans how does that sound bit long winded c c q then put your back up to say okay and then quite often you say my god thats that whopper if in the unlikely event if they want to feel a c c q let them have it dont dont because that person may be a tax he he buys he has to feel what hes buying and to deprive him from that you really are up against it people buy in three different modes visual and audible or a connective touchy feel mode if he wants to be touchy feeling you give it to him hell be touchy feeling and he wants to complete application form give it to him okay if hes an original hell want to see conceptual presentations hell want to see illustrations hell want to see erm sales aids if hes in audible mode he will far more readily to what you tell him as opposed to let me show you something okay and theres a specific technique you have to dont be afraid of p m youre right there youll find dont be afraid to give him the c c q its no big deal if he comes back and says well this is this is a bit of a whopper this document just takes a lot of yeah it certainly may not be it may be a very good artificial you see h m a that he is recoverable he may be a so er right loads of you have been away im going to hand and you can use this when we move into the role play which will be i dont know about ten oclockish is that a problem the er a copy of a buyers guide in for you before we move into the role play for cycle what i have to do is show you erm a training video that is produced by the department you may have seen it before i dont know whos technical anyone know what theyre doing with these things no you dont have much luck with i dont normally no this was set up yesterday change that that is the problem i cant change that here that and not particularly that problem back up usually here right its important to see this so can we have a quick ten minute break and i want somebody very very hard yeah can we be back here at ten to ten please sociability now its gone now im afraid yeah the reason this figure was produced is erm because one of the comments we had back from the other induction courses er gareththe reason we had produced this video was erm structure youve never shown it so its not necessarily tongue in cheek but it is a strictly sales structure but it will give you a clearer idea of our guide what to do to the role plays this morning saturday and tomorrow so here we go the sales structure take two friends all steps to selling we are trying to break the selling process down to areas this takes place over two separate appointments that sets out the of selling process easier to understand step one the opening this book the introduction from the purpose of the appointment step two exploration of needs this looks at finding out about your client and comes from the c c q the confidential client questionnaire step three present this looks at presenting your recommendations based on the c c q and finally step four the close this is where you for the business complete the paperwork and away the future business steps one and two takes place at the first appointment and steps three and four at the second in the following two appointments our clients wife was unable to attend however its important that all decision makers should be present where possible step one the open this looks at the introduction and the purpose of the appointment this would be the first opportunity that your potential client has to meet you remember first impressions do count you never get a second chance to make a first impression good afternoon mr to meet you okay come right in thank you a smile and a firm handshake accompanied by your announcement of who you are where your should be the first impression that you make appropriate sociability means saying the right things to strike up a rapport with your client helping them to relax feel comfortable and get to know you before cutting the business with some clients that can be five minutes discussing the house the garden or a hobby of theirs with others it could mean a short exchange of pleasantries followed by a suggestion to proceed with your intended business its also a good time to decide where youre going to sit for example in the dining room or the lounge it can mean your client a guide about how you can advise followed by your business card then help smooth into the area of business id like to give you this which spells out clearly my status and what i can do for you it simply states that i work for well we have production course you have made your appointment to see mr and mrs who are existing clients of you will now conduct the first appointment starting with greeting and appropriate sociability which is the first part of step one through to producing the c c q and then further copy pages two and four of the attached c c q in your booklet so two and four are er weve got four and two the personal details and may be the wrong way round there so its advisable to say you complete the first part of it page two and then the employment details okay so you doing a little bit of exploring there so if you like you can be doing all of step one and a little bit of step two buying in this particular role playing is that clear to everybody so the customers will be myself maggie sales people throughout the day and tomorrow well not be customers in any way shape or form now ill put you in these erm particular groups and you each have an allotted task as it were so group a which is you people there you will stay here okay and group b and c ill put you thats what we keep doing with thatso barry you are in the jurassic er gareth you are in as well so the previous manager will be robertand gareth its your responsibility to control the role plays make sure the the managers should not do thatkeep it and make sure the whole role play scenario runs on track joan diane and matt so well see if we can get good this time so show you how the same bill roger and vincent you will be the respective time keepers okay ill give you timing in due course but remember to give a two minute warning which is the rap on the desk make sure going on and you will find out the role plays will or may run over time you will notice b and c only has three people in it what that means in your particular groups you will nominate amongst yourselves who will be the fourth role play so each of the groups four role plays amongst yourselves who will do er the extra role play if there are four to do so youll all again at least twice and the best thing you have is you have more practice er so are you all clear on what you have to do what youre allotted to have to sell now and thats for my benefit alone okay what that means is that ill see each and every one of you in a a role play so the first person in each role play will be robert barry and gareth followed by gill followed by bill roger and vincent and robert again you do not deviate from that order that means i will see you at least once right here feedback to your respective manager as regards to your sales figures so please stick to that format for today and tomorrow everyone clear on what we have for today yeah so were looking at five minutes preparation fifteen minutes role play fifteen minutes play back followed by twenty minutes feedback each cycle should take fifty five minutes so we do three sets of role play well we look at them look for the cycle to start at quarter past ten first cycle must start at quarter past ten there four that should be for one oclock so we commence the third and final role play come back here and break for lunch and have an hour for lunch final role play at two oclock that is everyone clear in what they have to do yeah the actual as you did successful sales course we can note your comments down okay ill give you a set of these now write the sales persons name across there and write your comments criticisms what was done well what was done badly what could be improved on and its his role play cycle give this to the sales person remember the format controls he will normally start off sell first routine then he or she will have er say right at the very end say why he say why he or she and thats the format i want to follow that performance but not the applicant so dont take it to heart as not necessarily can i have the any spares right if there are no anyone got any questions at all right okay so this group of study here you can get all your stuff and your videos follow me and ill take you to the rooms do not start until quarter past yeah you dont start yeah make sure you bring your videos and your notes and all that sort of stuff with you i am sure well need it and make sure you bring the key as well try and remember that okay lets go thanks bob i suppose come on then camera operator technical yeah its been engaged on
