Fess up.
Not out of honesty, but putting your hands up to something so minor will massively enhance your credibility when a larger issue of trust crops up in the future. People will remember you opening yourself to ridicule in the name of fair play, and you’ll get away with murder off the back of it.

At a nursing home just outside Soton to visit Bucks senior (here temporarily, after a spell in hospital, hopefully). A good place, decent standard and great staff. But it’s a reminder again that age catches up with all of us

Two of my colleagues were in Malabo EG on Thursday having an overnighter before travelling home to South Africs when they were both picked up by the EG secret service and charged with drug smuggling and then paraded on national tv with what looked like a holdal full of white powder.
At present still being held.
Company lawyers and top management from Exxon and US Embassey also involved. All Saffers on board saying if they do get home they will not be coming back. My B2B is in South Africa and may decide he does not want to risk travelling through EG so I could be here some time.

Update the 2 guys are still in jail high faluting lawyers being flown in from Monaco to try and get them released but not looking good for either of them. Oil companies here are looking at what it means for the rest of us ex-pats and how we will operate if the govt try to or do arrest more of us.
Do you think they were set up? What do you think the reasoning is behind it if they have been?
Yes they have been set up by the EG govt the Presidents son just lost a big court case in South Africa and had a lot of expensive property confiscated its a tit for tat exercise but the South Africans still onboard say there govt will not intervene
This fella?
Thats the bugger
But they are still upset about the attempted coup by Mark Thatcher and a bunch of South African mercenaries a few years ago.
Would the oil Co chopper you guys off to a OSV and sail to a “safe” country
We could get a chopper direct to Cameroon which has been done before when the airport in Malabo was closed.

This says more about the management/ owners of Amazon than anything else.
I’ve been doing some industry wide research with an industry group that shows productivity and employee engagement has actually improved since lockdown for most groups working remotely- not in all age groups tbf).
There are issues about engagement and training of younger staff but the media just jump at headlines
