Agree, I managed a New Product Development Team I had a manufacturing/production background but the team included high ranking software engineers which I had a limited knowledge and i relied on them completely to produce quality and timely outcomes. Ditto Did I hold them accountable for decisions they made? Absolutely, and if it was a major one I would expect them to be able to justify it to me in advance. I didn’t need to have their grasp of the detail but I had to understand it enough to question them. If they failed I was accountable to people above me, that’s how senior management works. As for Rudkin he does seem to be the stereotypical Teflon Man

Probably because the main TV news programmes are very USA influenced and reported on and boy do they milk them.

Now, it seems, the Foxes have pulled out of the proposal altogether as Atlético’s slow response to the offer has made them believe that they cannot get a deal done. That’s according to the player’s agency, Velop4 Sports Limited, who have released a statement on the matter. “The staff of the athlete Alisson Santana hereby clarifies the events involving the official proposal made by Leicester City, from England to Clube Atlético Mineiro, which was disclosed by the press this Friday,” it reads. “The offer represented a unique opportunity for Alisson Santana to directly enter the Premier League. “At 19 years of age, the direct transfer from Brazil to the elite of English football would be a significant achievement, not only for the player, but also for Atlético, which, in addition to receiving a considerable amount compatible with the market at this time, would also keep a percentage of the athlete’s economic rights for future negotiations. “However, it is important to clarify that Leicester City’s withdrawal was due to Atlético Mineiro’s delay in responding to the proposal. When the club finally made a statement in the negotiations, Leicester understood that there was no more time to make the transfer possible. In view of this, the English club decided to withdraw the offer and end the negotiations. “The situation becomes even more worrying when one observes that, to date, there is no clear development project for Alisson within Atlético itself. “Thus, in addition to losing an extremely advantageous negotiation opportunity, the club also fails to provide its greatest asset – a phrase repeated by the board on numerous occasions – with a highly relevant showcase for its value, considering the club’s maintenance of the percentage in the transfer.”

@Alf Bentley Did you say you where from Folkstone and wasn't very complimentary about it. Sorry if I've got it wrong. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/seaside-town-named-uks-best-9906263?int_source=nba Seaside town named UK's best for 2025 for its vibrant culture and golden beaches The town is a hotbed of entertainment and culture and is a 'top-tier seaside spot' ByMary HarrisLaura McKenna 04:00, 1 FEB 2025 The charming coastal town of Folkestone in Kent is already having a remarkable year. Following its recent recognition as the best place to live in the South East by the Sunday Times, it has now been crowned the top destination to visit in the UK for 2025 by Time Out. This esteemed title is a testament to Folkestone's unique charm, which Time Out describes as a "top-tier seaside spot" with a "balmy, sweeping beach". On a sunny day, the town transforms into a tropical paradise, boasting crystal-clear waters and golden sands, with the added bonus of potentially spotting France across the horizon. Regardless of the weather, Folkestone offers an exceptional experience, with a wide range of shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. The town exudes a youthful energy, with vibrant, colourful streets that are a far cry from its former, less glamorous days. Visitors can explore the town's quirky independent boutiques, quaint cafes, and tantalising restaurants, making it easy to create a gastronomic 'to-do' list. One visitor to the town reported finding a cheap parking space in the town centre with ease, a welcome bonus that sets the tone for a wonderful day out. Folkestone is a town brimming with positivity and charm, with attractions aplenty. The Harbour Arm is a particular highlight, boasting a variety of food stalls known for their friendly service and delicious offerings, reports the Mirror. For those with a sweet tooth, the blondies - similar to brownies but made with brown sugar instead of cocoa - come highly recommended. The town also offers an array of unique bars and award-winning restaurants. Cavells at Folkestone Harbour, run by the team behind the popular Big Greek Bus, serves up a tantalising selection of Greek, Lebanese and Syrian dishes. Little Rock, a seafood paradise managed by an all-female team, is tucked away in a shipping container just off Folkestone Harbour Arm. Another must-visit is Rocksalt, a luxury seafood restaurant that was named among the UK's best restaurants with a view in 2022. It offers stunning views across the Channel and was a favourite of TV personality Kelly Brook when she lived in Kent. Lastly, the Creative Quarter in the Old High Street is a visual delight, with its brightly-painted independent shops adding a splash of colour to the area. Folkestone locals are quite fond of their unique shopping offerings, providing a welcome change from the everyday brands that typically dominate high streets across Britain. For those visiting, the town presents a plethora of options for picking up souvenirs and keepsakes to remember their journey. The area's vibrant music scene is reflected in its array of music shops, while the presence of independent and vintage clothing stores means visitors may leave the seaside town with a heightened fashion sense. One cannot miss out on visiting Kingsnorth Gardens, a "magical oasis" steeped in over a century of history, just a stone's throw from the town centre and conveniently close to Folkestone Central station, where Shorncliffe Road meets Cheriton Road. The gardens boast an enchanting blend of oriental, Italian and English formal themes, with April being the ideal time to witness a dazzling exhibition of colours – thanks to ornamental ponds, fountains, seasonal display beds, and rockery areas. Standout features include magnificent specimen trees, notably the Japanese Acers with their eye-catching pink flowers due to bloom in April. For those keen to further explore, Bouverie Place Shopping Centre and the Lower Leas Coastal Park are excellent destinations, while art enthusiasts will appreciate Anthony Gormley's commanding iron figure under the harbour arm and Cornelia Parker's impressive bronze mermaid perched atop the rocks above the beach. If you're travelling from London, the journey to Folkestone is just under an hour from King's Cross railway station. You can also reach Calais from Folkestone via the Eurostar in a swift 35 minutes. Time Out has recommended a fantastic itinerary for a day trip, offering a mix of outdoor activities, window shopping including art, and food stops. The Folkestone Triennial, which runs from July 19 to October 19 this year, delves into the historical roots of human settlement in the town. Creative Folkestone, the organisers of the festival, encourage visitors to explore Folkestone's "deep past". Time Out heaps praise on Folkestone, stating: "For a while, Folkestone was something of an under-the-radar seaside destination – but those days are now long gone." It further commends the Kentish town for its transformation into a top seaside spot, known for its vibrant, cobbled Old High Street filled with independent shops, a growing food scene, a warm beach, and beautiful natural surroundings. Additionally, it recommends visiting the town's Leas Lift, a 'funicular' – two carriages on a track moving up and down a steep hill via a pulley system at the top. Despite being out of operation for years, this attraction was voted fifth in the Seaside Heritage Network's Bucket and Spade List of the Top 10 favourite seaside places and experiences in the UK last year. However, things are about to take a turn. The cliffside lift, which shut down in 2016 and was added to the Heritage at Risk register after serving an impressive 36 million people, is scheduled to reopen in 2025. This follows a successful fundraising campaign that amassed £6.6m, including £4.8m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Folkestone is a delightful mix of the old and the new, heritage and innovation. Regeneration projects like the Harbour Arm keep the town feeling fresh and relevant, while its history is carefully preserved, as seen in the beautifully maintained old railway line adorned with stunning flowers and the exciting return of the Leas Lift. However, as KentLive reported earlier this month, plans for the transformation of Folkestone Harbour have encountered a hurdle after Folkestone and Hythe District Council voted against the contentious scheme. The project, which includes 410 homes and 54 commercial units as part of the ongoing redevelopment of the town's harbour and seafront, now faces an uncertain future.

Born and Raised in Leicester · Follow This picture of a horse-drawn tram on the Hinckley Road route, in Leicester, dates from about 100 years ago. The driver of the Leicester Corporation tram is well protected against the elements. It looks very much as though it was winter when the picture was taken, with no leaves on the trees, and the driver and his conductor obviously had time to pose for the photographer. A mother and baby can be spotted in the tram. This picture reminds us of travel at a more leisurely pace than we are used to today Credit Leicester Mercury
