Discussion:
Can things get any worse for Linde?

I have just returned home from a fab holiday with the girls to find an email from one of my colleagues saying that we (Linde) have just lost one of our major accounts, 400 + trucks to Jungheinrich and Mitsubishi, and by the sound of it deservedly so!. What the **** is going on? And more importantly what's next?

Silly? Did you type "silly"
Why would you think a guy with a green witch for his profile picture as silly?
When that Gree Witch is trying to flirt with a "Ms" [with a cartoon of Lady Godiva as their profile picture] on as macho a website as one dedicated to forklifts and material handling?
Now THAT is just plain silly,
Almost as silly as how far off the point I have now gotten.
Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to all (hic)
Now I done lost the bottle of bubbly again... somebody must be stealing it.
