Optimism Is True Moral Courage
There are well documented cases of the most unlikely people surviving in true life threatening situations, often the survivor is not the fittest, the strongest or the brightest, the survivor is an optimist….. they expect to survive and won’t give up. The quote that titles this article is from Ernest Shackleton the polar explorer and a consummate survivor. There is however a major difference between Shackleton and someone who survives a plane crash or a sinking ship, he led an expedition that encountered truly horrendous circumstances and not only did he survive… so did every single member of his team. They all went home to their families after living for the best part of a year under an upturned boat eating mainly Penguin and for 6 months in almost total darkness. It would have been the easiest thing in the world to give up! ..[ more ]

Letter to the Editor - Dan Sullivan, DOORCO
Dear Ian,
Having spent a lot of time since Brexit talking to customers about its possible implications on our supply chain, I’m writing to set out DOORCO’s stance on the development. Fundamentally, I believe no organisation can afford to knee-jerk to the immediate financial situation, so DOORCO will continue to adopt a business as usual approach, while carefully monitoring the next few months to see how things play out. ..[ more ]

Letter to the Editor - Part Q: Will you pay the price?
Dear Ian,
We are now nearing the point at which exemptions to the amended Approved Document Q no longer apply, as any work which passed planning approval before 1st October last year and was therefore exempt must begin on site prior to 1 October 2016. If it doesn’t, then it may be a case of back to the drawing board when it comes to planning, as you will need to ensure that all products comply. You may be confident that your door has passed the much publicised PAS 24 cut through test, and the hardware complies with PAS 3621, 8621 or 10621, but what about the glazing?
