Poor Chris Parkes - he compares his people ready business life to the marketing message - and brings down the house!!

I am not one to laugh at other's misfortunes... or at least not very often, but Chris had arranged to go to the Kent Partner Group meeting, when I asked him how it went he gave me some story about hit house falling down.  Being the sport he is, this is part of his blog entry on the whole sad affair.  I still say it is an extreme way to avoid meeting partners, but that is Chris for you!  I am sure he will be at the group soon!
