For reasons that are beyond me, this week’s news is themed around children’s nursery rhymes. It just sort of started with the HCT bus news and grew from there into some sort of unstoppable force. By the way, once you begin digging into the world of nursery rhymes, wow, does it get controversial. Plague, Viking attacks on London, regicide – it’s like a vision of the SSE Christmas party next week.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the news…

This week seems to have been a little bit quiet in the world of social enterprise. They say that no news is good news, but I can tell you that it does make writing a newsletter a very difficult job. So this is a real hodgepodge of stuff, a little bit of social enterprise news followed by ‘things I have seen this week that you may find useful’.

Have a good weekend

Happy Black Friday! Isn’t it wonderful? I don’t know about you, but I woke up this morning, checked my Black Friday stocking, stuck the lights up on my Black Friday tree and then went and queued in the rain outside a Tesco at 5 am to buy a television that I didn’t need. Magical. I can’t wait for our office Black Friday party later.

Before all that though, here’s this week’s news. It’s a little briefer than usual because I’ve been out of the office for the last few days and I’m chasing my tail a little bit. Roll on the weekend…
