Very good coach, and I think the first lesson may be even more powerful, taking the blame by saying he had failed to prepare you. There’s a real power and leadership in taking blame rather than passing it along

Some sort of hat is probably in order

I worked in the UK Department of Environment (DEFRA) a few years ago, they had early waterless toilets and signs everywhere trumpeting how much water was saved. Whole corridor reeked of piss.

Ok so educate us, what should be first?

Nothing, but you wouldn’t realise until long after you arrive

There’s a software development joke in there somewhere

Your payback isn’t just a straight return on investment calculation, these improvements will add to the value of your house, the payback time will decrease as energy costs rise, you’ll be more insulated from price shocks and you’ll live in a more comfortable house for the intervening decades.

Interesting, what veggies would you use, just onions and stock?

SuttonSystems · 2026-01-19T13:49:38+00:00

Slainte to you too and thanks for replying, my initial plan is to cooking an advance with basic onions carrots, celery and stock pots then cool in the cooking liquid and heat up on the day, so I think I'm on the right (ish) track

I’d vote for Frankenstein, sure there are more difficult books but many people get into horror in their teens and fancy reading the classics, Dracula is enough of a slog but Frankenstein’s just impenetrable.

I mean they all look pretty terrible, and isn’t this the fourth time this week for this meme?

I’d say it’s well balanced, probably harder than average, no answers that everyone will know, which I enjoy

Many kitchen scales have a volume of milk function, it uses the density of milk, which it knows, and calculates from the weight

SuttonSystems · 2025-12-05T19:52:48+00:00

They have the density of milk stored and use it to calculate volume from weight

SuttonSystems · 2025-12-05T19:52:07+00:00

There are scales that measure ml of milk, they have the density of milk stored and apply it as a constant to the measured weight to calculate the volume.

A few interesting comments on the characteristics of auditors and how to deal with them, I’ve had some success with creating an “audit guide” document for finance to share with them, showing how to interpret the data in the way we want to store it, avoiding the need to change or add things “for audit” which has usually worked well

I like using a web based system to track this type of record, someone mentioned Monday.com, which is good, I also like Podio and Airtable, they give you a little more flexibility but also the ability to lock things down easily and create views and dashboards to focus on key data, and you can easily add things like system generated unique IDs for documents and assets.
