Funeral In Leeds

Here are the horses and the hearst; I don't know who they were supposed to be burying today, but it may as well be integrity.

Why?

Today I discovered that the two people in the upper echelons that have done the most to support the disadvantaged, that have always earned, not demanded, respect, and that have built a business which is a part of Yorkshire culture, are losing their jobs.

The 'suits' have spoken.

They are to be replaced.
Of course, the pair have an unrivalled knowledge of the trade, the trade I am a beginner in, and to replace these people with some 'Parachute Pete' is something of a joke.

Whoever gets the job will have to be special, even better at it than the originals- or they won't stand a snowball's chance in hell of doing it.

Then again, perhaps Mr. Suit doesn't want them to do the job; after all 'ParentCorp' is investing heavily elsewhere, and the first step in destroying a business centre(so that it can be shut) is to destroy the business it does.
