There is something I quite like about the show “Undercover Boss”. I like seeing how he is treated and I like seeing the respect (or lack of) displayed either way between the Boss and the employees.

I recently downloaded a new app on my phone called “Countdown”. It has one function (for me) which is to count the number of days till I turn the big “five – oh!!”
