 Thank you Dave for your contribution. Much appreciated.
Just two things.
1. Executives sitting in air-conditioned offices in Coventry. Maybe today, =
but not fifty plus years ago. You either sweated profusely in your mandator=
y suit or you froze in your mandatory. Keeping employees comfortable was ne=
ver on the managerial agenda. In Export Sales, we were next door to gearbox=
 heat treatment and that was where everyone went when it was cold.
2. Accent aigu and English speakers finding it difficult to do - or whateve=
r? In MS Word and many other programs, Toolbar> Insert>Symbol will give you=
 any accent you want for most global languages. I use that facility all the=
 time.
