It's a North South divide thing

It’s a North South divide thing, I’m sure of it.  When ever we have visitors to our offices, the first thing I (and my colleagues) do is offer them a drink and ask about their journey or hotel, especially if they have travelled any distance.  Sadly, the same courtesy isn’t extended when I visit offices in the Deep South!   Today I sat at a “touch down” desk in Reading and not a single person offered me a drink, asked me about my journey or even who I was.  Maybe I’m overly sensitive, but personally, I think it’s simply good manners!

 

These friendly ladies gave me a wave in Reading.
