Interesting times

A weekly round-up seems almost redundant this time as there was one major story for business - the rate cut, whether we're talking about the press commentary, the event itself or the lead-up - whether on the day it happened or earlier in the week.

It was also the week in which Red Letter Days died and was resurrected, but possibly without honouring any of its failed incarnation's commitments - which will hit a lot of businesses using them as employee incentives pretty hard.

This will add to the general gloom as it transpires employers are working too hard, to say nothing of everyone being useless by the middle of the afternoon. No wonder there are concerns over small business growth rates.

Still, maybe the rate cut will do something to help. Have a good weekend.
